	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Even at age 80, Scott remains one of the youngest and nimblest directors working today (...) Plummer is easily the best thing about a film that is technically accomplished"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"The paciest, most dynamic film ever made by an 80-year-old director (...) Scott moves the dramatic story along at a propulsive clip that never flags"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"As an experiment in filmmaking trickery, 'All the Money in the World' is an extraordinary viewing experience; without that, it’s a compulsively watchable rumination on the worst of the one percent"	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"Gripping, polished and consistently tense (...) If Plummer gives the movie its juice, then Michelle Williams gives it its soul. She is terrific"	POS
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"Style and suspense are only part of the story, in a screenplay by David Scarpa that also mines a rich vein of substance — in the form of philosophical musings about the power and nature of money"	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"Scott’s commanding movie — brisk, vigorous, masterfully crafted — is unrepentant (...) Scott’s dark, defiant movie is captivatingly curt and heartless."	POS
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"It frankly doesn’t look very good (...) This is a strangely static, unattractive piece, a stylistic misfire (...) That’s not to say that the film isn’t compelling"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"With the help of Plummer’s tremendous villain-autocrat performance, Ridley Scott gives us a very entertaining parable about money and what it can’t buy (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"[Plummer] is icily brilliant in the role (...) The film unfolds in a richly realised world and moves with an addictive, free-wheeling swagger (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"This true-life tale (...) maintains its hold (...) Though the film’s underlying themes are fairly obvious, they’re gripping enough to power the terse, sometimes sluggish story."	POS
