==Critical reception==
The film was presented at the 2008 [[Sundance Film Festival]], and was well received. A review from the festival stated:<br>
''"The Merry Gentleman is slow paced . . that's an attribute. Keaton doesn't rush anything in his story . . It is a glowingly photographed, impeccable performed magical realist drama . ."''
The movie was released on May 1, 2009 to positive reviews (noting Keaton's crafted directing of the film and MacDonald's performance), with a 'fresh' 64% rating on review aggregate [[Rotten Tomatoes]].<ref>http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/merry_gentleman/</ref> [[Lisa Schwarzbaum]] of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' wrote of the film, "This Debbie Downer of a drama is a bitter slug".<ref>{{cite book|title=''Entertainment Weekly'' May 8, 2008 pg. 51}}</ref>
