"Extremely entertaining, and every film director's worst nightmare!"
Woody Allen
"Truly heartbreaking and emotionally satisfying"
Robert Altman
"Enormously entertaining...this detailed and candid documentary is a film
equivalent of Final Cut, Steven Bach's book about Heaven's Gate,
and is destined to become a classic of its kind."
Sheila Johnston, SCREEN INTERNATIONAL
"a must-see...the documentarians pull off an amazing feat: They make you
see a non-existent movie... Lost in La Mancha gives unique insight into
the passions that govern any large-scale film project."
Kirk Honeycutt, The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Lost in La Mancha is compelling...it's comparable to witnessing
a traffic accident; one feels for those involved, but it's almost impossible
to look away."
David Gritten, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
"There's no shortage of disaster stories in the history of film production,
but none have been recorded with such frankness, immediacy and aching sense
of disappointment as in Lost in La Mancha… entertaining and instructive...
a tantalizing memorial."
Derek Elley, VARIETY
"….fascinating, dramatic, funny and informative…"
Simon Kinsgley REELSCREEN Magazine
"Hugely compelling …"
David Gritten, DAILY TELEGRAPH (UK)
"Fabulous…. one of the best movies ever made about a movie"
Baz Bamigboye, DAILY MAIL (UK)
"A singular and exceptional work which effectively shows the perils which
generate when art depends on money as much as inspiration."
Derek Malcolm, THE GUARDIAN (UK)
"Lost in La Mancha is an absolute marvel, a gem sure to appeal to
cinephiles, but not only to them, a genuinely good film...a story the two directors
tell with constant irony, a black humour that makes their film very tasty. It's
a rare thing to see the cinematic machine falling apart from the inside… the
elements they've put together are extraordinary"
Aurélien Ferenczi TELERAMA MAGAZINE (France)
