3.5/5
"Strangely, Burden of Dreams is a better film than Fitzcarraldo, if only because you get to see the fictional portions of the film along with the backstory"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

A-
"Remarkably candid behind-the-scenes documentary."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

B+
"not only captures the dramatic moments where Herzog risks life and limb ... , but he includes small details that provide necessary natural respites from Herzog's 'madness'"  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

9/10
"A fascinating portrait of a filmmaker pushed to the outer edge of sanity..."  All Movie Guide  Josh Ralske

"It’s Fitzcarraldo with affirmed and not sublime biography; in essence, the same film without the pretense of fiction."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor
