To Die Like a Man Ratings & Reviews
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
The director of O Fantasma, Joao Pedro Rodrigues achieves his masterwork in this sublimely surreal, tragic yet transcendent melodrama celebrating the final choices of a Lisbon female impersonator.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
It's a shimmering oddity of a film, a wholly unique and lively experience unlike anything we've really seen before.
Critic's Notebook
Martin Tsai
Its characters are caricatures who almost defy empathy, although it's possible that Mr. Rodrigues isn't the one to blame in that some people do choose to live such one-dimensional lives.
Film Comment Magazine
Nicolas Rapold
While indebted to Fassbinder, Rodrigues finds his own distinct register of melodrama and demonstrates an ability to up the stakes with unexpected stylistic choices or dramatic coups.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Well-acted and unflinching, but tedious, pretentious, overlong and tonally uneven.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The praise for this static, overlong, stagebound work is a mystery to me.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
[Refuses] to soften the harsher personal truths faced by aging professional salesmen of erotic fantasy.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The film is filled with striking, sometimes painful images...

Chris Cabin
humane and tender
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
A mysterious, fabulously sad fable about the final months of a fado-singing, pooch-pampering drag diva.
New York Press
Armond White
Indulging Rodriguez's ugliness limits the image of gay life and gay culture to negativity and grotesquerie.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
Despite the hothouse atmosphere or the backstage tantrums and a suicide attempt, [director] Rodrigues lowers the temperature with his slow, steady camera for a flabby 138 minutes.
CultureCatch
Brandon Judell
Just be the trippiest film released this year, with several of the most delicious transvestites around being truly absurd. Who knew? Drag and Death, a match made in heaven.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Joao Pedro Rodrigues's perspective on cinema and life, in a nutshell: All the world's a stage, and everyone in it is a drama queen.
