	Author	Review
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A watered down version of a fascinating real-life fraud, Stephen Gaghan's 'Syriana' follow-up is likely to earn him some very harsh pans"	NEG
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"As robust as the lead performance is (...) the movie around it (...) too often feels serviceable rather than inspired"	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Directed with an odd mix of human compassion and giddy abandon by Stephen Gaghan, 'Gold' is a lively portrayal of what’s often misidentified as the American Dream"	POS
United Kingdom	John Hazelton Screendaily	"A bravura performance from Matthew McConaughey (...) is the seam that gives 'Gold' its value"	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"Whatever the explanation, 'Gold' ultimately fails to answer the question, 'Why this story, and why put this character at its center?' (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"There’s not much that glitters in 'Gold', a lackluster caper that proves that even the priciest ore can bore (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Actor deep-dives into role as a modern prospector who strikes it rich – and almost saves this uneven Capitalism-run-amuck drama (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"Only Matthew McConaughey glitters in dull 'Gold'"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[McConaughey's] wild, abrasive and improbably delicate performance is what makes 'Gold' watchable, even if the rest of the movie doesn’t supply sufficient reason to keep watching."	NEU
