What's so lovely here is Manuel's warmth and humanity - the way he lives with regrets and disappointment.

Donkeyote could have used a sturdier structure (towards the end, the movie feels aimless), but it's a guaranteed good time.

Rated: 3/5

Chico Pereira uses the clear photography of Julian Schwanitz to follow the adventures of this peculiar type, between lone ranger and troubadour, whose way of life... seems to be in danger of extinction... [Full review in Spanish]

POV Magazine

A crowd-pleasing tale of an old man with a dream, a dog and a donkey, Chico Pereira's Donkeyote is a stellar example of documentary-fiction hybrid.

Documental muy sencillo pero grandioso, la relación de Don Manuel con el mundo y los animales es increíble. Don Manuel disfruta de la vida caminando por ella en compañia de su burro Gorrión y de su perro y a sus 73 años aun esta ávido de aventuras. Hermoso tributo de Chico Pereira a su tío que recuerda al Quijote.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
