The plot, about a man who followed his dream, just oozes optimism. If you grew up in this era, there’s a lot of nostalgia value here. Toe-tapping fun is how I’d describe my time with Spinning Gold Read full review

The film is certainly worth a watch simply for the music and the entertaining aspect of its storytelling. Read full review

The movie and the story it tells are kind of all over the place. Read full review

Richard Roeper

It’s like a strange and misguided takeoff on “All That Jazz” as funneled through “Rock of Ages,” and while there’s no denying the heart and effort behind the presentation, that finale is representative of the movie itself in that it has an uncanny way of hitting the wrong notes. Read full review

The Film Stage John Fink

Apr 4, 2023

There is something occasionally fun in watching a film with questionable choices bookended by over-the-top musical numbers. It’s not hard to imagine a spirited programmer getting a crowd excited for it at some point in the future. Read full review

With filial care but a flawed script, the filmmaker delves into what drove Bogart, the man, more than Bogart, the artis. Read full review

Spinning Gold plays like a Broadway Play. We get the gretaest hits of his major accomplishments in just under 2 1/2 hours, and because of that run time, I'm sure liberties were taken.

We get the gretaest hits of his major accomplishments in just under 2 1/2 hours, and because of that run time, I'm sure liberties were taken. Like the Elvis movie last year, Neil Bogart is a fascinating character, and his son, Timothy, who directed this movie has finally come to terms with the man he probably barely knew as a child. The 2 women cast as Neil Bogarts 2 wives stand out as women swept in in the heady rush of the 70's and Neil's obvious charms. I would like to see a warts and all documentry as a follow-up, but there's no doubt Neil Bogart took a huge leap of faith with the artists he signed and believed in.… Expand
