Leave your thoughts about At Any Price.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a brave, layered film that challenges the wisdom of victory at any price. Both of its central characters would slip easily into conventional plot formulas, but Bahrani looks deeply into their souls and finds so much more. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...feels like a great American tragedy, like East of Eden or Death of a Salesman. There's ... a fidelity to the way things actually work themselves out in the real world, in compromise and half-measures and moral doubt. |
| Movie City NewsKim VoynarAt Any Price isn't so much about race cars or corn as it is about what price we're willing to pay to protect what we love, and to keep our hopes and dreams alive. As such it's a fitting parable for our times. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThe disappointment and malaise of a modern farmer's life comes through, but almost as an afterthought. As Bahrani makes clear, it's worth a more focused film. |
| AspectRatio.usMatt Kelemenwhile [Bahrani] did create a sociologic examination of an industry and culture that effects everyone, and educates the audiences, he didn't know how to end the story. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallEfron makes hay with his richest role post-High School Musical, making Dean a rural rake with conflicting charisma. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe audacious ending, though unjustified by what had come before, was clearly something mainstream Hollywood would not have tolerated. Yet the 90 minutes in between, a mass of symbols and improbabilities so great they provoke outright laughter, made me wonder whether aliens stole Bahrani’s brain. |
| NOW TorontoRadheyan SimonpillaiDennis Quaid gives the kind of performance that deserves awards, but it's in a movie that won't likely get that kind of attention. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordDennis Quaid and Zac Efron simply do not have the gravitas to convince me that Henry and Dean are real people. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyYes, it's a cutthroat world out there, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it, except hide the bodies well. That's the takeaway from "At Any Price." |
