(1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1   "One of the most fascinating documentaries a movie fan could ever hope to see."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 3.5/4 "Anyone the slightest bit interested in the filmmaking process should see this film."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth B- "Viewers always seem to have a strange curiosity about disasters."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "Gilliam’s impassioned demand for the impossible is seen as his Achilles Heel."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A- "Probably the most heartbreaking movie I'll see for a while."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B+ "A minor masterpiece of moviemaking tragicomedy that will fascinate buffs."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A fascinating documentary about English director Terry Gilliam's tilting at windmills in his attempt to make a movie about the impossible dreamer."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/5 "entertaining without always being compelling"   Los Angeles Alternative   Jay Antani 7/10 "What does work extremely well ... is the documentary's portrayal of Terry Gilliam as a man almost childlike in his love for making a movie."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 6/10 "Interesting but nothing spectacular, the film is relatively easy enough to sit through, but isn't quite as insightful and certainly not as entertaining as I had been led to believe."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "It's every director's worst nightmare come alive and as a major movie buff... it was a fascinating watch."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4.5/5 "It's fascinating, and I bit off every one of my fingernails from the stress."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B- "It's been said that Reservoir Dogs inspired thousands of video store clerks to pick up movie cameras. I would suspect that Lost in La Mancha might make them get back behind the counter."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll 3/5 "The film should be required viewing for all aspiring filmmakers, but the story's road-accident appeal is universal."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "This simple 'making-of' story becomes an 'unmaking-of' documentary"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "An intensely intimate look at the frustrations of ambitious, large-scale filmmaking."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/5 "Alternately entertaining and depressing account of Gilliam's failed attempt to film his Quixote opus."   Filmcritic.com   Nick Schager 4.5/5 "This is much more than the average making-of documentary."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B+ "A funny, heartbreaking record of a director's pet project going off the rails."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "A fascinating documentary for film fans. Those who are not real film fans or film students probably won't find it as interesting."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 3.5/4 "There is no better indictment of the bankruptcy of artistry in big-budget cinema than the failure of Terry Gilliam."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 6/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R.
