Critic Reviews

Village Voice - Calum Marsh

May 5, 2014

At its best, this descent into madness plays out like a millennial stoner's take on Jacob's Ladder. More often, it recalls a sobering truth: Nobody likes listening to someone ramble while high. Read full review

The New York Times - Daniel M. Gold

May 15, 2014

A bit too true to a frugal indie philosophy, where winging it beats reshooting, the film gets more woolly and unfocused; many scenes feel improvised and only occasionally hit their marks. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - Sheri Linden

To call Don Peyote a mess would be putting too fine a point on it. Read full review

The Playlist - Christopher Schobert

May 13, 2014

Taking on such a wacky project for his directorial debut shows evidence of real ambition, yet Don Peyote must be considered a complete miss. Still, Fogler is certainly not without charm and comedic ability. Read full review

The worst American film I've seen this year. Read full review

The Dissolve - Vadim Rizov

May 13, 2014

There’s no rhythm or rules, and the beyond-indifferent camerawork and community-access-TV-grade effects help nothing. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein

May 15, 2014

All the controlled substances in the world couldn't improve a viewing of the execrable Don Peyote, a tedious, incoherent look at a paranoid stoner's emotional and spiritual unraveling. Read full review

Don't know why nobody liked this film. As for me, it's realy funny. I was interested in this themes 3-4 years ago, and I wish I watched this film in 2012, that's why I understood the humour))) 8/10

Very amateur and puts shame to the potentially fantastic ideas behind the film.
Freeman fly is a great guy. Too bad this film doesn't do him or his work justice.
