Jeff Shannon Seattle Times If you're on this movie's wavelength, you may find yourself unexpectedly moved by its cumulative effect. Rated: 3/4 Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com A witty, dry, lovely and unpretentious picture. Sep 20, 2007 Full Review Bill White Seattle Post-Intelligencer Albert Serra's reduction of Don Quixote, the greatest novel in the Spanish language, to a two character sketch emulating Beckett's Waiting for Godot, is among cinema's greatest insults to literature. Rated: D Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Sky Hirschkron Stylus Magazine It is [worth seeing], but [Albert] Serra's watch-or-****-off contempt remains present throughout. Rated: B Jun 25, 2007 Full Review Scott Foundas L.A. Weekly Extraordinary, minimalist-naturalist take on the Don Quixote story. Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Deeeeensa, bien deeeensa Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Close to Tarr's style when directing 'Satantango' or 'Werckmeister Harmonies',still,this movie moves too slowly for it's own good,bores with it's existencial crisis drama,and doesn't quie know where to set foot.Too bad,it had a lot of potential. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member ive seen a lot of movies! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member If you happen to be suffering from insomnia this film is a certain cure. If you like Tarkovsky you might like this film, although in Tarkovsky films events unfold delicately over time, in this film nothing unfolds at all except the gradual passing of time. The characters are loosely based on the originals,. The dialogue is minimal, Sancho himself only uttering a handful of utterances throughout. The shots of the landscape (Northern Spain) are an integral part of the film, inducing almost a state of meditation if you let it. This film is subtle and poetical, it is the antithesis of all action films. I highly recommend it...Boring??.. look again. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably one of the most hated films at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, although it was seen by a relatively small portion of the people there. Funny and touching at times, but REALLY, REALLY SLOW. Definitely a type of movie that the majority of us aren't used to seeing everyday and with good reason. I can't say that it did much for me, but those who liked it, really loved it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The only film I've walked out for years. Shortly after the multi-minute dialogue-free unlit scene at night in a field (yes, a black screen with intermittent creaking as our two characters walked) I decided, art-movie buff though I may be, some films are too much - or too little - even for me.
