A whimsical, good-natured romp, sure, but one that's only mildly amusing.

Times-Picayune

A deftly directed, emotionally resonant update of Cervantes' tale. Most importantly, it never loses grip of the comedy and humanity that makes it all so magical to begin with.

Rated: 3/4

Screen Rant

The True Don Quixote is an offbeat and entertaining spin on the famous story, bolstered by a dedicated Tim Blake Nelson performance.

Rated: 3/5

In its own way, Poche's adaptation goes for the gut by letting Tim Blake Nelson hit at the soul of what it all means now.

Rated: 3.5/5

This quirky comedy is a roller coaster with a couple of tearjerker moments. Not always laugh out loud, but you will love the end!

Eccentric and hilarious while touching on heavier themes like mental illness, The True Don Quixote puts a modern spin on a classic story that will leave viewers warmed and pensive. Recommended for those who enjoy witty, ironic dialogue and the charms of discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary. (think Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Little Miss Sunshine)

This movie is a whimsical rendition of the famous novel "Don Quixote". Set in present-day Louisiana this movie follows the journey of a man who is convinced he is a knight and hero from the 16th century. Grab your family or your friends and be prepared to laugh your heads off at this amusing and beautifully made movie!
