“The brilliance of the film’s construction is how gently it encourages us to look inwards just as we observe what we see on screen, showing us ways in which while we are all fools at times, it’s never too late to begin the process of making the best from our foolishness. It’s this that makes ANDRÉ IS AN IDIOT one of the most moving, most hilarious, most tragic, most wonderful works of non-fiction filmmaking in many years.” —Jason Gorber, POV Magazine “This winning non-fiction portrait proves equally adept at eliciting laughs and tears.” —Nick Schager, Daily Beast
