This film doesn’t have an answer, but it does compel one to actually care about the stuff of their life.

| Dec 6, 2023

As with Noah Baumbach’s films, on a certain level I wonder outside of a certain kind of tristate social nexus could possibly care about this — and, equally, I don’t really care.

Perry's aesthetic choice are also designed to obscure clarity. The film is grainy-warmly and beautifully so-while the sound design is such that everything is more or less at the level of room tone.

A modest, introspective, and quietly poetic exploration of familial ennui.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 3, 2019

Emotionally parched, Golden Exits is a film of misconceptions based upon choices, behaviors, and romantic frustrations.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 1, 2019

Unfortunately, the women in Golden Exits don't have much to do other than brood, stew, and complain about the men in their lives.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 2, 2018

The last shot of Golden Exits... seems to suggest that walking to the golden vanishing point is, although unrealizable in metaphorical terms, as therapeutic as an act in itself. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 18, 2018

"Golden Exits" isn't as thunderous as "Queen of Earth," but accepted on a smaller scale of disturbance, and Perry's windy screenplay and care for actors is fascinating.

| Original Score: B | Feb 22, 2018

Golden Exits is too selective in its focus to give us a full picture of these lives, these relationships, and this general sense of dissatisfaction with it all.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 16, 2018

A movie that gazes deep into its characters' unhappiness and emerges with something searching, sad - and perilously close to likable.

| Feb 15, 2018

Honestly, if it weren't for the performances this would probably be insufferable. But everyone in the film is good.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 15, 2018

The strong ensemble cast is unable to do anything of interest with the script; it's far too self-indulgent and offputting

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 15, 2018

Golden Exits is 90-minutes but it feels like three torturous hours...

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 15, 2018

While you'll salute Golden Exits for never going full-on Fatal Attraction, it ends up feeling cagey, trapped in the realm of the theoretical and too hip to raise its tensions above a simmer.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 15, 2018

Don't let the indulgent chatter fool you. Here, Perry has nothing to say that's worth listening to.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 15, 2018

Golden Exits is a post love, post-passion and pro anti-depressant film. It is expressing its own curiosity at what it feels to be the inevitable conclusion of youth and living like there's no tomorrow.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 15, 2018

I may be an old curmudgeon, but one with a better outlook on life and people than the characters in Alex Ross Perry's latest film.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 15, 2018

...boasts a terrific ensemble demonstrating the unhappiness and self doubt revealed when their routines are nudged off tilt by one lone outsider.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 15, 2018

[A] decidedly unmelodious yet resoundingly affectionate Brooklyn saga.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 15, 2018

The movie seems to be slowly pushing a needle into the lives that it scrutinizes, as if to draw a blood sample and learn what ails the characters.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 9, 2018
