High-spirited and infectiously energetic.
Godfrey Cheshire, Variety
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, Time Out
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

The last half-hour drags.
