Philadelphia Inquirer
Wildly sad, funny and terrific documentary. - 90
Dallas Observer
An ideal film for movie buffs, who are bound to delight in each new misfortune even as they sympathize with the documentarians' sometimes inflated vision of a tortured genius at work. - 80
The A.V. Club
At once bitterly funny and devastating, Lost In La Mancha sides with Gilliam in form and spirit, piecing together the train wreck with snaky humor and interludes that cleverly mimic his Monty Python collage animations. - 80
Washington Post
The documentary is fascinating, but hardly enjoyable. It's like watching ants eat an elephant. - 80
Washington Post
Like rubbernecking motorists, we can't help but watch with lurid fascination. - 75
New York Daily News
Lost in La Mancha basically catches "Don Quixote" in free fall…It's our loss nonetheless. Gilliam is one of the great film fantasists of our age, and one expects he would have done Cervantes proud. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Captures one of the wildest, most heartbreaking episodes in Gilliam's career. - 70
Slate
Squirmily funny documentary.
