Arany

Van cselekményszerkezete csattanókkal, de szafttalan, unalmasan megrendezett. Megkérdőjelezhető filmzene választással. A filmnek jót tett volna egy ügyesebb, frissebb elbeszélői stílus. És szikra, ami Amerikai botrány filmnek volt (a filmek hasonló, amerikai retró területen mozognak). (2017.02.20)

An above-average standard reconstruction (in the day) of the biggest gold fraud on earth. Unfortunately made by a director without the necessary knack. The acting is great, and tubby McConaughey rocks. The screenplay is excellent, but has no build-up of tension, and simply tells the story as it unfolds, which is a bit disappointing. And this is another important lesson we can learn from history. (2018.12.08)

A traditionally well-prepared McConaughey, giving his usual 100 percent to his role. Otherwise, however, this is a rather uninteresting film inspired by a true story, which follows in the footsteps of American Hustle in its retro style, but lacking vivacity and passion. Other than a couple of emotionally accomplished situations, it’s a real borefest. (2017.05.08)

I was intrigued by the trailer and Matthew McConaughey's transformation (I thought it was a mask, but he was really set up that way...), I was impressed by Daniel Pemberton's soundtrack... I didn't know anything about the real story, I didn't know the director, I went to the movie theatre and I don't regret it. Gold is a light, breezy and ever so lucid film that beautifully mixes the adventure genre with the drama of a stubborn modern gold digger who searches and searches, although he may have already found it, and he just doesn't know it. Of course, it sounds like a huge cliché, but during the two hours it never occurred to me that I was watching something I'd actually seen many times before. On the contrary, I was constantly pleasantly surprised by the film, I appreciated that the main character is actually likable (and thankfully not a shark in the style of The Wolf of Wall Street), that it's not a problem to understand him and, thanks to that, to actually experience the whole story with him. I was very surprised by two things - the final fifteen minutes or so, which I won't write about, and the fact that Bryce Dallas Howard, whom I didn't recognize until the credits, was in the film.

A film that seems rather off-putting at the beginning, just to create a state of movie bliss at the end. At the beginning I had no idea what reason I could find to finish watching this movie. Although Matthew McConaughey showed another incredible transformation, at the same time he spoke so technically I thought for a while he fell from the Mars. Luckily, after meeting Édgar Ramírez, the technicality disappeared and the real story began, gradating the film's quality towards a bit shocking ending. What can I say, it was again one of those films I will be glad to remember. (2018.02.05)
