	Media	Author	Review
		Nick Schager Variety	"'Big Gold Brick' is beset by torpor, in large part because every new incident is untethered to the ones that preceded and follow it."
		Max Maller Chicago Reader	"Cohen’s performance leans too hard on a flimsy caricature of sputtering delirium, but Garcia redeems many of their scenes together with his easy joviality"
		Tara McNamara Common Sense Media	"[It] seems not to adhere to the standards of typical genres simply because it's not well-written (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Brian Farvour The Playlist	"No matter how one tries to unpack the curious contents of 'Big Gold Brick,' they’ll likely be unable to find much of anything outside of an unintelligible failure."
		Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"The title of this perfectly well-appointed production is apt: 'Big Gold Brick' looks all right but it truly just sits there."
		Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"Bloated, meretricious, unfunny, strained, and ultimately trite (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		William Repass Slant	"Brian Pestos’s flair for go-for-broke zaniness transmutes what might otherwise have been a lump of self-indulgent clichés into gold (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"Everything in the film just falls flat (...) The lingering lesson in all of this is Megan Fox deserves better and 'Big Gold Brick' is a solid turd of a movie (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
