A New York Times Critic’s Pick – twice!
An “impeccably inane horse opera…Tumacho is the platonic theatrical version of the artfully anarchic, shrewdly mindless comedies we wait for every summer to hit movie theaters, often in vain.” – Ben Brantley
“Ethan Lipton’s delirious Western comedy features a pigtailed gunslinger, a soul-sucking demon and singing puppet cactuses, among other inspired flights of fancy.” – Elisabeth Vincentelli
