Critic Reviews

David Stratton

Utterly fascinating, playfully probing mystery story. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

An entertaining documentary. Read full review

David Sterritt

All right, it's far-fetched. But it's fun to think about, and Rubbo makes a merry case. Will the real Bard of Avon please stand up? Read full review

A.O. Scott

An inviting piece of film. Mr. Rubbo's cast of characters have the charisma of true devotees and stoked egos that match their intentions. Read full review

J. Hoberman

It's a pleasingly Hollywood notion that plays well with Rubbo's interpolated quotes from "Shakespeare in Love." Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

It's good fun, and the whole debate raises some interesting questions about larger questions of authorship and whether or not it ultimately matters who "Shakespeare" actually was. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Barely qualifies as a documentary. It's the personal journey of a man hoping to claim a million-dollar literary prize by proving that Marlowe wrote Shakespeare. Read full review
