Reception



On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of . The site's critical consensus reads, "'You Cannot Kill David Arquette' -- nor can you deny the sheer watchability of this unusual and surprisingly affecting documentary."

Owen Gleiberman gave a positive review for 'Variety' and complimented how the film handles the merger between kayfabe in professional wrestling and reality: "At the end of 'You Cannot Kill David Arquette', were drawn into a wrestling narrative that the documentary wants you to believe, even as it stands on the outside looking in. Is Arquette a has-been actor trumping up his biggest failure so that he can exploit it? Or is he a lionhearted wrestler who finds triumph by going the distance? The weird thing is that theres no difference."

For 'Film Pulse', Adam Patterson gave a generally positive review, but pondered if Arquette could be well received by the audience as an underdog: "This [...] may be a hard pill to swallow for some, considering he has had a seemingly successful career, lives in a beautiful home and has a family who cares for him deeply."
