Critic Reviews
The Observer (UK)Jun 25, 2025
This technically simple, endlessly inventive film balanced laughter and pathos; its cabin fever sequence is unsurpassed. [28 Feb 2010, p.24]
Jun 25, 2025
The funniest -- and almost the saddest -- silent comedy. [20 Apr 2001, p.C1]
Jun 25, 2025
Extraordinarily sweet and graceful comedy.
The TelegraphJun 25, 2025
The Gold Rush is a flawless example of Charlie Chaplin's masterly fusion of comedy and tragedy. [20 Apr 2024, p.23]
Jun 25, 2025
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. [17 Aug 1925, p.79]
Jun 25, 2025
[Chaplin] has done for comedy what Victor Herbert did for "jazz." [22 Sep 1925, p.8]
Jun 25, 2025
The Gold Rush is a typical Chaplin film; but it is better than any of those that have been produced before. From the very first moment of the picture Chaplin strikes that curious note of sublime aloofness that sets the key of all his best work. [19 Jan 1926, p.6]
Jun 25, 2025
You will get enough laughs out of "The Gold Rush" to make the picture worth while. [14 Sep 1925, p.17]
Jun 25, 2025
These varying motifs are not exactly woven together; in the use of them, instead, the picture runs a certain risk of being episodic. [27 Jun 1925, p.27]
