Reviews

Witty, goofy, and glorious, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is Terry Gilliam's best film in two decades.

Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

It's exactly the kind of odd, reality-skewing fantasy you'd expect from the inventive Gilliam.

Wenlei Ma, News.com.au

Absurdly funny and well-acted (particularly by Driver), with sumptuous costumes and production design. The stunning cinematography deserves to be seen on a big screen.
