Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

All that's really needed to understand Arquette's motivations are the words of his brother, Richmond: "David wants love"... For all its bravado and mystique, what's most striking about You Cannot Kill David Arquette are these simple truths.

Rated: 3/5

I can't help thinking that a real documentary could be made about David Arquette's midlife crisis and this isn't it.

La Diaria

What is most impressive about You Cannot Kill David Arquette is not the physicality of the matter, but rather the emotional and mental. The directors have the strange ability to make everything that should cause embarrassment become authentic and exciting

Rated: 7/10

Keith & the Movies

It may be tempting to view the entire movie as nothing more than a vanity project. Certainly there are elements of that which are hard to get around. But reducing it to such a linear reading means missing its biggest strengths.
