Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The last half-hour drags.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Jun 2002
fresh:
There are actors' rehearsals and performances, and Mr. Pacino interviews experts, conducts man-on-the-street polls and stages collegial arguments with his cronies. Thus emerges the intricate story of Richard's ambition.
– Suzanne O'Connor,
New York Times,
21 May 2003
fresh:
Pacino's first film as writer/director is a marvellously intelligent, witty and imaginative exploration of the problems faced by anyone wishing to act in Shakespeare or translate the plays to film.
– Geoff Andrew,

fresh:
High-spirited and infectiously energetic.

rotten:
This runs 118 minutes, but it felt like six or seven hours.
