Goldstein...is excellent in the role, rendering Edith’s monstrous ambition with relatable (and frequently terrifying) conviction. Read full review

Sarah Kurchak

Feb 9, 2016

Although it stumbles a bit at the end with a self-aware redemption that isn’t entirely earned or particularly in character, Diamond Tongues is still a brilliant and realistic portrait of the young artist as a bitter borderline failure. Read full review

Diamond Tongues is refreshing because it isn't an indictment of a demographic, or even of Edith, but is a portrait of a young woman whose ambition has curdled into something more nasty along the way. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Diamond Tongues is a witheringly funny but still sympathetic portrait of a show business “type.” Read full review

Nick Prigge

It's Goldstein's performance that truly impresses. Read full review

The prickly tone is a difficult balancing act, and Diamond Tongues may settle for being a softer-hearted film than its most cynical scenes portend. But it has a palpable affection for Toronto’s cultural scene and for Ms. Goldstein. Read full review
