Leave your thoughts about Spinning Gold.
| Film ThreatAlan NgThe plot, about a man who followed his dream, just oozes optimism. If you grew up in this era, there’s a lot of nostalgia value here. Toe-tapping fun is how I’d describe my time with Spinning Gold |
| Screen RantPatrice WitherspoonThe film is certainly worth a watch simply for the music and the entertaining aspect of its storytelling. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkThere is something occasionally fun in watching a film with questionable choices bookended by over-the-top musical numbers. It’s not hard to imagine a spirited programmer getting a crowd excited for it at some point in the future. |
| Original-CinKaren GordonUnfortunately, love and enthusiasm doesn’t automatically add up to a good movie. The ideas here are well thought through, but the execution is tonally wonky, at times feeling like a stage musical translated to the screen. At other times, it comes across like a Hallmark movie. At two hours and 17 minutes, it’s simultaneously too much and not enough. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe movie and the story it tells are kind of all over the place. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIt’s like a strange and misguided takeoff on “All That Jazz” as funneled through “Rock of Ages,” and while there’s no denying the heart and effort behind the presentation, that finale is representative of the movie itself in that it has an uncanny way of hitting the wrong notes. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAs a movie, Spinning Gold is a clumsy effort with a lot wrong with it, except for the real-life story, which never stops being interesting. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiComing across as little more than a filmed adaptation of the first two-thirds of Neil Bogart’s Wikipedia page, Spinning Gold is a mess that even those with a keen interest in the subject will find both ponderous and uninformative. |
| The New York TimesLisa KennedyWith filial care but a flawed script, the filmmaker delves into what drove Bogart, the man, more than Bogart, the artis. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdonaThe filmmaking lacks the style to pull off its willful blending of fact and fantasy. At least there are the songs to enjoy. |
