A film where the chaos acquires its own value and forces us to enjoy at a more primary level, unrelated to its stable and elaborate socioeconomic coordinates. [Full review in Spanish]

Torn between hard-hitting satire on the pitfalls of capitalism and goofy, upbeat we're-in-the-money clichés.

Except for McConaughey's performance, there is little sense of urgency or adventurousness in the way the narrative plays out.
March 09, 2017
The performance is hyperbolic and testicular, in the sense that McConaughey seems to be summoning the character from deep within his id and gonads.

It's a rare film that manages to close with a final scene much better than anything in the two hours of movie that preceded it.

Despite McConaughey's commitment to the role, his Kenny is more pathetic than sympathetic, which makes caring about him for two hours a difficult task.

You feel weirdly uninvolved, and ever more unsurprised by the lurches of fate.

Film of ups and downs, Gaghan's work lacks the wrapping style that Syriana had. But in return, it offers the eternal fireworks of films about scams. [Full review in Spanish]

Gold had all the elements for a richly entertaining picture, yet its reliance on McConaughey to indulge himself in his performance ultimately proves to be its downfall.
January 27, 2017
If a single performance could make a film, Gold would be, well, solid. McConaughey whoops and hollers and canters, delivering gimlet-eyed eulogies to the precious metal that has long bewitched him, but the film doesn't hold half the heat of his obsession.

When the tricksy denouement hits, we're not sure if we've been hoodwinked, but we're happy to have been taken for a ride, nonetheless.

The movie is a mess, but it's also an oddly amoral mess.
