The Gold Rush Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Mildred Spain
The Gold Rush collars you, plays quickly upon your emotions and leaves you in that mood where you can't laugh without a sob tearing through, or sob without a laugh bubbling up from the depths of the understanding of laugh.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinée
Mr. Chaplin cooking and eating one of his famous shoes is a sight to make you rock with laughter -- that has in it a low rumble of sympathy.
Detroit Free Press
Roy Ellarcotte
There are moments when the great audience was hushed as Chaplin introduced a moment of pathos, and Chaplin, the comedian, proved at once that had he chosen to be a dramatic actor he would have been an instant success.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Inquirer Staff
Charlie Chaplin, that delightful little man, with his laughs and his nonsense, is very much of an artist. He has done for comedy what Victor Herbert did for jazz.
Variety
Sime Silverman
It may have impressed friends of Chaplin's on the coast to that degree, but... it does not live up to the rave from the west. It's just a good Chaplin comedy, a picture that's certain at the film theatres because of Chaplin's name.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Post-Dispatch Staff
It is, in fact, Chaplin's worst picture. That opinion, however, has a string tied to it, for The Gold Rush is really a good picture, Chaplin's worst being far better than most of the other screen funny men's best.
Boston Globe
Marjory Adams
Now the sequences which were considered brilliant in their technical perfection look crude and artificial, but the funny gags remain quite as delightful, and as provocative of mirth.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
His best film to date and one of the best he would ever make -- or anyone would ever make.
New York Daily News
Wanda Hale
An enchanting picture, just the thing we need these days to take us out of this world into a nicer land of make-believe.

Brian Tallerico
"Gold Rush" does feature two of the most iconic silent film scenes of all time in the "Boiled Shoe" and "Roll Dance" sequences, but it's not quite as transcendent as my favorite Chaplin films.
(All (Parentheses)) (Substack)
Keith Uhlich
This greatest of silent comedies could be subtitled "Hunger" - not just for a decent meal, but for financial stability, for the love of a good woman and for a house that isn't perched precariously on the edge of a cliff.
Los Angeles Times
Edwin Schallert
The first comedy of epic proportions has reached the screen.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Chaplin is the apotheosis of the world's despised and downtrodden, and also their hope; he heralds a revolution in anarchic beauty.
The New Republic
Edmund Wilson
I prophesied that Chaplin, with his finer comedy and his less spectacular farce, would not be able to hold his popularity against it. What has happened is precisely the reverse of what I predicted.
TIME Magazine
James Agee
The result is a sight for sore eyes, for old-style Chaplin fans and novitiates alike.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
Even with its (likely dictated) propaganda on behalf of the now-superfluous 1942 edition, this set restores a high watermark in cinematic comedy to nearly full glory.
Slant Magazine
Jaime N. Christley
What's surprising when one takes a fresh look at The Gold Rush is how much else there is, too, not just in terms of set pieces.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
Eighty-five years young, "The Gold Rush" is still an effective tear-jerker.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The blend of slapstick and pathos is seamless, although the cynicism of the final scene is still surprising. Chaplin's later films are quirkier and more personal, but this is quintessential Charlie, and unmissable.
Variety
Variety Staff
The Gold Rush is a distinct triumph for Charlie Chaplin from both the artistic and commercial standpoints, and is a picture certain to create a veritable riot at theatre box offices.
