André is an Idiot

Opens March 20

A celebration of life filled with raw honesty, surreal bursts of imagination, and brazen irreverence, André is an Idiot shows us what it really means to live happily, truthfully, and hilariously. In this Sundance Award-winning documentary, André Riccardi sets out to chronicle his final journey—one undertaken after receiving a diagnosis he could have prevented—through comedic vérité storytelling and fantastical stop-motion interludes.

"Most of us could never hope to be as smart as Ricciardi was, but the movie he’s left behind does everything in its power to ensure that we’re not as dumb as he was either."
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"If this film is anything, it’s a profoundly curious look at why we often shy away from what we feel are weaknesses. It also brushes up against this same penchant for uneasiness in the face of death with a lot of heart and honesty."
Alex Papaioannou, Next Best Picture
