New York Times

The film gets more woolly and unfocused; many scenes feel improvised and only occasionally hit their marks.

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

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.

The Film Stage

Where 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.

Rated: C

... an incoherent series of hallucination sequences that are neither amusing nor visually compelling.

Paste Magazine

It sounds dickish and empty to call Don Peyote indulgent, but the film feels so personal that it never connects to any universal feelings of panic on the part of its character or, by extension, Fogler.

Rated: 4.4/10

One doesn't need to be a stoner to find merit in this film. Captured my interest from start to finish. Explains why there are people walking the streets with signs predicting "The End".
