(1 - 25) of 25 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 "Does exactly what it sets out to do, describing the picture Gilliam was hoping to make and showing just how wrong it went. But it's also an elegy for every doomed picture that was never made."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 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.
