Barrymore is a 2011 Canadian drama film directed and screen adaptation by Érik Canuel based on William Luce's 1996 play of the same name.

[5][6][7] Actor John Barrymore comes to terms with the ravages of his life of excess and rents an old theatre to rehearse for a backer's audition to raise funds for a revival of his 1920 Broadway hit Richard III.

[10] David Hinckley of the New York Daily News wrote, "Plummer commands the stage as easily and firmly as Barrymore must have.

He makes us believe that Barrymore would indeed, as he tries to reach deep into his past and revive Richard [III], keep recalling his wives or breaking in to sing a pop song of the day."

[15] Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times gave a negative review, writing, "It was brilliant as a one-man stage show; it was never a good candidate for film.
