From the far-too-teeming brain of Spanish writer/director Alex de la Iglesia, The Last Circus is a bizarre, surreal, grotesque, fascinating, demanding, disappointing and ultimately exhausting political allegory that plays like a waking nightmare.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

For those with a taste for the subversive and outrageous, run, don't walk.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten
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.
Una LaMarche, New York Observer
