Leave your thoughts about Don Peyote.
| New York TimesDaniel M. GoldA 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. |
| The PlaylistChristopher SchobertTaking 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. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakWhere Don Peyote gets truly intriguing is when its transitions from mundane normalcy to a higher existence find their delineations gradually dissolving until we cannot tell which is which. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineThe most surprising thing about this comedy is that it's not very funny, but then it's not meant to be. This is a trippy odyssey into the mind of a drug-addled guy who thinks the world is falling apart around him. |
| Village VoiceCalum MarshAt 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. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... an incoherent series of hallucination sequences that are neither amusing nor visually compelling. |
| New York PostSara StewartIt makes so little sense on-screen that all you can do is nod along vaguely sympathetically at its sheer creative bravado. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenTo call Don Peyote a mess would be putting too fine a point on it. |
| NerdistWitney SeiboldUnfortunately, Don Peyote - for all its freakout ambitions, bizarre visuals, and copious, relentless WTF moments - doesn't quite stick. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzThe worst American film I've seen this year. |
