At Any Price

"While the drama comes up a little short in emotional payoff, this is a thoughtful, nuanced film that vividly evokes life in a Midwestern community (...). It offers a rueful snapshot of the changing face of a quintessential element of American life" 

"If 'At Any Price' overstates its points, they are still worth making. And the hot-wired performances by Mr. Quaid and Mr. Efron drive them home in a movie that sticks to your ribs and stays in your head" 

"Bahrani (...) shoots himself in the foot by throwing in a contrived plot device that creates drama at the expense of credibility. Suddenly, we're isolated from a film that had made us believe. It's a breach of trust that comes at too high a price (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"Some of the acting isn't bad, but the story is messy and unsatisfying (...), the ending is an outrageous fudge and the lead performance from Dennis Quaid is strange to say the least (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
