Barrymore, set in 1942, follows acclaimed American actor John Barrymore (Christopher Plummer), a member of one of Hollywood's most well-known multi-generational theatrical dynasties. No longer a leading box office star, the film finds Barrymore reckoning with the ravages of his life of excess. He has rented a grand, old theatre to rehearse for a backer's audition to raise money for a revival of his 1920 Broadway triumph in Richard III. It leads him to look back on the highs and lows of his stunning career and remarkable life. -- (C) The Film Sales CompanyRelease Date Barrymore Nov 15, 2012 Limited

Review For Barrymore
The interest is in Plummer himself-who he is, what he can do.Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic
Mr. Plummer stumbles beautifully, poignantly and often, leering and searching through a haze of memory or, with concern edged with panic, calling for 'a line, a line' much as Richard III calls for a horse.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
You wish you could be seeing this performance live, as it's meant to be seen - but lacking that, "Barrymore" on the big screen provides its own thrills.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Plummer is marvelous, flitting between reminiscence and Shakespearean recitation as a gifted artist aware of his own wretchedness.
Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly
Plummer's Barrymore shows flashes of glory as he delivers bits and pieces of various Shakespearean roles.
Lou Lumenick-New York Post
While Plummer acts his heart out, the script becomes one punchline after another.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
Plummer is phenomenal, but be warned: you really have to like one-person shows in order to enjoy this 84-minute tour de force.
James Plath-Movie Metropolis
In spite of creating a CGI world around Plummer, much is lost in this translation, making an impressive performance from him seem inert.
Staci Layne Wilson-StaciWilson.com
As an acting masterclass, it's educational and entertaining.
James Croot-Flicks.co.nz
Christopher Plummer works hard to give us his idea of John Barrymore in this record of a theatrical tour-de-force, which is more dramatically florid than biographically enlightening.
David Noh-Film Journal International
Director Erik Canuel fails to deliver us from the inevitable hermeticism of the material.
Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine
Erik Canuel, who directed and adapted the work, employs a host of cinematic techniques to enhance Plummer's spell-binding turn as a crotchety has-been who, in 1942, attempts to revive his career by playing Richard III.
Jim Schembri-3AW
In the hands of an actor of such calibre as Plummer, it is riveting stuff. And often hilarious, risqué, even coarse on occasion
