Crimson Gold Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
One man's breaking point comes off as a stifled cry of collective revolt.
IndieWire
Brandon Judell
The movie, an acute study of Iran's class structure and mores, will reveal it all to you in a series of episodes where Hussein often ends up eating the pie. A must-see.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
An incisive portrait of one man's quiet rage at, and heartbreakingly violent response to, social inequality.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
I'm glad I saw Crimson Gold. Watching it is like getting a peek behind the curtain.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Panahi's movie, unsurprisingly, has been outlawed in Iran. Nobody likes a prophet.
Denver Post
Vic Vogler
The movie can feel slow and tedious, but the supper it makes us work for is nourishing.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's the singular presence of Hussein Emadeddin -- a nonprofessional like all the other actors Panahi has used in his films -- that gives the film much of its soul and mystery.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The success of Crimson Gold depends to an intriguing degree on the performance of its leading actor.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A stark, minimalist near-masterpiece.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
The leisurely pace and fatalism become riveting, and the film takes on an unnerving, unblinking intimacy, even as the characters remain distant.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
An eloquent look at a man made less human by the world around him.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
An engrossing tale of class differences that reveals tiny details of one man's descent into hell.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The year's first great movie.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
A remarkable work, as much for its uncompromising view of a claustrophobic urban landscape as for its always-muted compassion.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A mesmerizing, and devastating, story.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Emadeddin's performance, due either to the actor's medicated state or perhaps to the symptoms of the disease itself, is a marvel of everyman affectlessness.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A fascinating whydunit.
Los Angeles Times
Manohla Dargis
This tough, bristling story about a working-class man pushed over the edge vividly brings to mind the great Hollywood social dramas of the 1930s.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Combines the talents of two of Iran's most forceful critics of their country's theocratic regime.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A fable of money as the root of jealousy, discord, violence, but the film's slippery fascination as sociological expos is the flip side of its thinness as drama.
