Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com To be sure, there are plenty of self-deprecating jokes André makes. But that doesn’t mean sincerity doesn’t hug every corner of “André is an Idiot.” Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety “André is an Idiot” counsels that, as life runs out, sometimes the right thing to say is what you mean, and sometimes it’s what you absolutely don’t. The truth cuts through either way. Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast This winning non-fiction portrait proves equally adept at eliciting laughs and tears. Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Edward Douglas Cinema Daily US An entertaining, crowd-pleasing film that probably would work well theatrically. Rated: A- Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine The film’s mechanics were so obvious than I never stopped thinking about them to start thinking about death, which here becomes an almost entirely synthetic emotional experience. Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Awards Buzz This film, which comes from first-time feature director Tony Benna, is an extraordinary celebration of life and death...Sad as it may be, this is a wondrous opportunity for audiences everywhere to get to know the one-of-a-kind André. Rated: 8/10 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
