Paulo Coelho's Best Story Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Pablo Villaça
The Paulo Coelho portrayed here is a selfish, reckless, immature, spoiled and deeply boring person.
Movie Mezzanine
Andy Crump
Paulo Coelho's Best Story should be about Coelho, but the results feel trite enough that the picture could be about anybody.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Daniel Augusto relies on familiar tropes pertaining to the sexy, rebellious rock-star artist who does things his own way.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A biopicture charting one man's painful and then rewarding mission to become a writer.
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
This biopic about the internationally best-selling writer of The Alchemist isn't quite the hagiography you might expect.
Variety
Joe Leydon
A dramatically flat and tediously disjointed drama that comes across as a standard-issue, cliche-littered, struggling-writer-finds-fulfillment biopic that has been cut-and-pasted into borderline incoherence.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
For all his tormented free-thinking, the protagonist never comes into focus.
New York Times
Daniel M. Gold
To be fair, dramatizing an author's process is never easy: Paulo bangs away on his typewriter, smokes, tosses pages.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Coelho's writing may be "more [widely] translated than [Shakespeare's]," as the coda claims, but Paulo Coelho's Best Story never successfully pins down its subject's genius.
Anchorage Press
Indra Arriaga
Unfortunately, Paulo Coelho's Best Story runs one hour and 52 minutes, and while the pace is good, that's one hour and 52 minutes the viewers will never recover.
Film Journal International
David Noh
A horrid case of ADD afflicts this would-be-serious attempt to capture the tumultuous life of an internationally beloved writer.
