Review of Gold (2016)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 06 Feb 2017

Atmospheric, but rather glibly directed, Gold is fun but sometimes feels like a feature-length episode of Dallas…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Edward Porter (366) for Sunday Times (UK) (753) on 06 Feb 2017

At its best, the story is an adequate yarn; at its dullest, it's a lifeless rehash of The Wolf of Wall Street, without even the sex and drugs…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Linda Cook (1,442) for Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) (1,206) on 05 Feb 2017

Gold' is all right, all right, all right…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Tom Glasson (221) for Concrete Playground (635) on 05 Feb 2017

Not even a determined McConaughey can make this real life drama about the hunt for gold sparkle…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 05 Feb 2017

McConaughey gives his considerable all as a wild-eyed desperado, but the rest of Gold can't reach his manic energy levels…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 05 Feb 2017

The propulsive soundtrack choices create an energy, but it's a hollow, restless energy, which emphasises the emptiness of the story and the…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Nick Dent (153) for Daily Telegraph (Australia) (376) on 03 Feb 2017

McConaughey thrives on parts that allow him to portray pumped-up American aspiration and it's more of the same in Gold, a movie inspired by…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Sandra Hall (505) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 03 Feb 2017

It's a good story and Gaghan tackles it with his usual flair for international intrigue and political chicanery…

Review of Gold (2016)

By David Stratton (799) for The Australian (781) on 03 Feb 2017

What follows is never less than diverting, beautifully acted, painful, wacky and usually unexpected…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 03 Feb 2017

It's not as brainy as The Big Short, as witty as American Hustle or as entertaining as The Wolf of Wall Street…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 03 Feb 2017

Performances, including Édgar Ramírez as a maverick geologist and Bryce Dallas Howard as McConaughey's loyal girlfriend, save the day…

Review of Gold (2016)

By John Byrne (48) for RTÉ (Ireland) (721) on 03 Feb 2017

Unless you're a McConaughey completist I wouldn't waste a night at the cinema watching this ultimately disappointing slice of celluloid, but…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Contactmusic.com (927) on 03 Feb 2017

This lively and sometimes outrageous adventure is packed with twists and turns that the audience never sees coming…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Kevin Maher (647) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 03 Feb 2017

A film with serious acting, a true-story premise and nothing by way of charm, intrigue, dramatic tension, sympathetic characters or basic narrative…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Deborah Ross (530) for The Spectator (1,162) on 03 Feb 2017

It has its highly entertaining moments, and there is some fun to be had in McConaughey's madly over-zealous performance but it is derivative…

Review of Gold (2016)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 03 Feb 2017

a tedious and often interminable drama that feels like a stale rehash of other, better movies…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Charlotte O'sullivan (637) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 03 Feb 2017

Deluded-yet-indomitable, Kenny is just too familiar a figure and the absurdly upbeat twist ending is the final insult…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Brian Viner (589) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 03 Feb 2017

It's easy enough to see how this story could have hit cinematic pay dirt. But there is a glibness in its telling that makes it strangely uninvolving…

Review of Gold (2016)

By David Jenkins (910) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 03 Feb 2017

It's a boilerplate American Dream story for sure, but at least its one where you don't actively wish the central character died in a chip pan…

Review of Gold (2016)

By Jamie East (261) for The Sun (UK) (932) on 02 Feb 2017
