| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerDiamond Tongues works both as a character study and an exercise in cringe comedy: you spend an hour and a half watching someone make a lot of bad choices, hoping that she'll learn from at least one of them. |
| Globe and MailCalum MarshGoldstein...is excellent in the role, rendering Edith’s monstrous ambition with relatable (and frequently terrifying) conviction. |
| National PostDavid BerryThe second feature by Pavan Moondi and Brian Robertson, Diamond Tongues lives in its careful attention to detail, the meticulous but breezy way it captures Edith's meandering life as much as her increasingly destructive disenchantment. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe prickly tone is a difficult balancing act, and Diamond Tongues may settle for being a softer-hearted film than its most cynical scenes portend. But it has a palpable affection for Toronto’s cultural scene and for Ms. Goldstein. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreDiamond Tongues is a witheringly funny but still sympathetic portrait of a show business “type.” |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckIt's Goldstein's performance that truly impresses. |
| Toronto SunJim SlotekGoldstein has something to fall back on if this music thing doesn't work out. In an impressive feature debut, she carries literally an entire movie. |
| User ReviewA S"Diamond Tongues" is honest personal crisis set against the backdrop of the clash between what audiences want in art and what art ought to be. Goldstein is great in this film. |
| User ReviewYunzhi OWith Leah Fay Goldstein's sparkling performance, this film makes raw the mentalities of an ambitious actress, in dashing colors, with a flamboyant dark humor. |
| User ReviewWarren PReally enjoyed this funny, quirky, indie movie with a lot of interesting characters and a great soundtrack. |
