Very soapy, sorta dopey father-son drama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 29, 2020

A title that actually capsulizes the film as a whole, every action in At Any Price has a price and every character is paying a price.

...a lugubrious father-son farming melodrama...

| Jul 31, 2019

The rising temperature never really ignites. There's conflicts aplenty, but things simmer without ever quite coming to the boil.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 8, 2019

[At Any Price] is a lot more surprising -- and a lot smarter -- than you might expect.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 19, 2018

What At Any Price does for the American farming system in the 21st century is what chocolate cupcakes do for the nutrition movement - absolutely nothing but serves as another preposterous obstacle to ponder. Price is one less crop to consider harvesting

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 17, 2018

One moment, the film comes across like a morality play. The next, it's an exposé of Big Agriculture's corruption. The thread needed to connect these agendas remains missing.

[A] handsome, slow-burning thriller ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 7, 2016

It won't be for everyone - the pacing is glacial at times - but At Any Price certainly deserves attention.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 4, 2016

A glum, heavy-handed state-of-the-nation drama ...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 3, 2016

It's an honest, grown-up, slightly earnest slice of rolled-sleeves Americana - something like the cinematic equivalent of a Steve Earle album.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 3, 2016

Directed by Ramin Bahrani, Quaid gives a fine performance, but the drama reflects the flatness of the land it features.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2016

This engaging, low-key drama is a film about family, business and success.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 20, 2015

"At Any Price" is so driven by its plot that it fails to connect its characters with moviegoers in any meaningful way.

| Oct 7, 2015

After fearlessly diving into a character that's self-centered, wretched, and downright degrading, Quaid outdoes most of his earlier works of cinema.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 14, 2014

Tough, engaging, and brutally honest, At Any Price is one of those quiet gems you hope others will have the opportunity to discover for themselves.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2013

At Any Price has an interesting story at its core, but it's bogged down by undeveloped characters and sideplots, as well as a poorly-written third act.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 26, 2013

...feels like a great American tragedy, like East of Eden or Death of a Salesman. There's ... a fidelity to the way things actually work themselves out in the real world, in compromise and half-measures and moral doubt.

| Original Score: 88/100 | Aug 16, 2013

Bahrani is striving for something epic and tragic - Shakespeare among the soybeans - but too often the film settles for merely melodramatic.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 2, 2013

Though Bahrani may be moving toward the mainstream here, he remains an empathetic, nuanced chronicler of the American working class.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 24, 2013
