Director Erik Canuel fails to deliver us from the inevitable hermeticism of the material. Full Review

Los Angeles Times
Two things to keep in mind when considering Barrymore, starring Christopher Plummer as the great John B: It was brilliant as a one-man stage show; it was never a good candidate for film. Full Review

New York Magazine (Vulture)
God, I love Plummer's performance - the twiddling fingers, the tipsy sway of the head, the reverberating roar, as well as the pathos of a man who can't stop acting long enough to hear the cry of his own soul. Full Review

Time Out New York
This isn't a film, it's a recording of canned ham-tasty, certainly, but creaky nonetheless. Full Review

Variety
The material itself has a formulaic solo-bioplay rhythm neither performer nor director can fully elude. Full Review
