The Last Circus Reviews
Observer
Una LaMarche
You're left with the vague recollection of an interesting movie you were watching before you got kidnapped and subjected to over an hour of torture porn starring a fat, sadistic clown.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Take Fellini, Tarantino and "Taxi Driver," throw 'em in a cage with a lion, and you'd get this strange, wild trip.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Brilliant, bizarre, dazzling and utterly demented...
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
For those with a taste for the subversive and outrageous, run, don't walk.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Although not everybody's glass of sangria, it has the making of a cult hit.
The Last Thing I See
Brent McKnight
Any movie that starts with a clown wielding a machete is on the right track. Circus performers conscripted against their will to fight a war they neither believe in, nor have any interest in participating in. How can you go wrong?
SpookyAstronauts
Emma Wolfe
I don't even know what I just watched.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Álex de la Iglesia holds back nothing, a strategy that generates a compelling sense of the phantasmagoric nightmarishness of Franco's Spain.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's not a pretty picture, but it is a hellaciously gorgeous and original film.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
If you like your baroque sex and violence with a side dish of heavy-duty symbolism ... put "The Last Circus" on your must-see list right now.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
Baroquely sinister and grotesquely funny.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
Comedies don't come any blacker than this, but few filmmakers are able to do more with their palette than De La Iglesia.
That Shelf
Shelagh Rowan-Legg
De la Iglesia has a particular talent for carrying his audience through his strange and visceral imagination, hardly letting a breath be taken and yet leaving them gasping for more.
House Next Door
Fernando F. Croce
The filmmaker's lack of discipline ultimately mars the subtext, but the brazen fusion of Jodorowsky and Tashlin remains a heady mix that shows how timid and safe Pan's Labyrinth really was.
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
The Last Circus is simply amazing. It's the kind of titanic tour de force you don't see in today's cookie cutter cinema.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Bizarre, shocking and surreal, Last Circus is a significant film set against tumultuous political contexts; I wish they kept the orginal Spanish title, Sad Ballad.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
Sure to inspire a cult of fervent fans, but equally sure to repulse a great percentage of its viewers.
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
There are moments of great, caustic humor and delirious melodrama throughout The Last Circus. But as a whole, the film lacks the consistency, sorrow, and tremendous imagination of Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
The emotional aberration and physical disfigurement, the violence different in feel from the US crew-cut variety, the revenge, the bursts of sick humor, do not meld well here.
Oregonian
Shawn Levy
There's a lusty depravity in play here, and a wild verve informs the film, but it's not particularly coherent, and after time the sloppiness of the technique wears you down more than the little perks of audacity manage to lift you.
