...a magical mystery tour mixing past and present, fact and fiction, film and literature, and the pleasurable experience of watching it snatches a secret success from the jaws of well-publicised failure...

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 13, 2024

The performances carry it through, and it is legitimately funny and enchanting. The beautiful scenery and the striking cinematography from Nicola Pecorini also add much to the experience.

| Original Score: B- | May 10, 2024

It's apparent that both the director and his film are interchangeable now.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 3, 2022

True to form, Gilliam starts the frenzy early and delivers delirious passages. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Nov 18, 2021

Like most Gilliam's movies, it's definitely not for everyone but I quite enjoyed all the surreal, bizarre & plain weird-ness of it all. The visuals are wonderful, so I recommend this for those who can appreciate his imaginative and peculiar vision.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 4, 2021

There are... common points between Quixote and Gilliam, which go beyond fighting against windmills. The delusions of grandeur and the romantic feeling of justice in the former will have seduced the latter. [Full review in Spanish]

Terry Gilliam's barmy, baroque fever dream is the best version we could have hoped for...After three decades of delays, it's a miracle this bonkers epic ever got made.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 23, 2021

It is stretched too thin, about too many things and not enough about any one of them, but it is still more intriguing than most other films out there.

| Feb 10, 2021

But just like the mad quest of the iconic tale's foolish old knight, forever tilting at windmills, Gilliam never gave up and brings it to barmy life in a movie-within-a-movie, tapping Star Wars bad boy Adam Driver and Brazil star Jonathan Pryce.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2020

At 132 minutes, it's hard to follow the plot and even harder to care.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jul 2, 2020

The resulting adventure is inventive, chaotic, funny, and touchingly melancholy, giving Gilliam the opportunity to tilt his satirical lance at the modern world and offer a salute to die-hard dreamers everywhere.

The film is messy, with an occasionally strained script and meandering sequences.

| Feb 28, 2020

It has a scrappy, indie feel that I like...not for everyone...but an honest and compassionate account, the pain and the ecstasy of the creative process...

| Feb 12, 2020

This is the sum total of several decades worth of work from a man who was once one of the most exciting and enjoyable voices in comedy and cinema, but it has none of his energy and vigour.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 11, 2020

It's cleverly structured and very nicely acted but also a little dated, convoluted and overlong.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 4, 2020

Terry Gilliam's long-plagued dream project finally hits the big screen after a 25-year wait, but his ambitious tale feels like it's passed its sell by date.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 3, 2020

The Man Who... is fun for an hour, then messy, baffling and finally infuriating, but kudos to Gilliam for getting there eventually.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 3, 2020

It'd be easy to map Gilliam on to Grisoni, a film-maker dogged by his artistic misfires and the mess left in their wake. Really, though, he's Quixote, stuck in a noble past and wilfully disconnected from a present that jostles uncomfortably close.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2020

A staggering misfire that's both unambitious and bloated.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 31, 2020

Personally, for all its frustrating elements it is worthy viewing of anyone who consider themselves filmgoers.
