Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story is a hall of mirrors that doesn't tease the brain (it's easier to watch than to read about) so much as goose it into submission.

[Michael Winterbottom's] goofy, messy version of Tristram Shandy puts the Fellini back in 'Fellini-esque.'
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

A wildly imaginative foray into spirited comic anarchy.

A Cock and Bull Story is a grand giggle of a film, well worth your time and money and a game well played for the audience.
Tom Long, Detroit News

A hilariously clever picture about the making of a movie that no one will have the slightest interest in. For an experiment about an experiment, it's entirely too much fun.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
