More than a biopic, Spinning Gold is an unabashed homage to Neil Bogart... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 2, 2023

Spinning Gold doesn't work as a fable about the pursuit of the American dream but as a superficial, schematic approach to an era with an artistic effervescence that still impresses us today. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 31, 2023

The result is an underwhelming, occasionally tedious look at the producer, the label, and even the artists.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2023

We are observers and toe tappers watching Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart spin music into gold records while his life, fueled by drugs and alcohol, spiraled out of control during the raucous 1970’s.

Not sure how a story about some of the greatest and most outlandish performers in music history (Kiss, Parliament, Donna Summer) could be this bad but it is. Poorly written and horribly executed. Every single note felt false. One of the worst movies ever.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 8, 2023

The movie suffers from a lack of objectivity about its subject as well as from a lack of vision about the film’s true direction...

| Apr 7, 2023

Aside from being incredibly offensive to anybody who cares about this music, the movie is also terrible.

| Apr 4, 2023

Strange and misguided...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 3, 2023

A very poorly done biopic of a music executive that was sold as a film about a historic record label and its artists.

| Original Score: D | Apr 3, 2023

As a biopic, Spinning Gold is good and meets the genre standards.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Apr 3, 2023

[A]t the detriment of the larger story, it stuffs itself with characters until there’s no room for characterization.

| Apr 3, 2023

The final result suggests a project that had to cut corners along the way rather than take time to develop characters. Still, there is something occasionally fun in watching a film with questionable choices bookended by over-the-top musical numbers.

| Original Score: C | Apr 3, 2023

It's Jeremy Jordan who steals this show, the Broadway hoofer sings, dances and yes, cons his ways into a music adventure as the great Neil Bogart that could only happen in the 1970s! Add the rumored origin of LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY & the film scores, baby!

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 3, 2023

The biopic as Wikipedia entry where you look up the Wikipedia entry and see that it is, in fact, more accurate — a better biopic — than the movie.

| Apr 3, 2023

Nostalgic trip back to the 70's with great soundtrack and stellar performances from Jeremy Jordan and Jay Pharoah

How much of Spinning Gold is true and how much is filtered through the rose-colored lens of nostalgia and familial hero-worship? I dunno, and this is Hollywood, so let his sons,idolize their father how they want.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2023

The majority of plot moments follow the highs and lows in the career of Casablanca founder Neil Bogart, a unique character and man who lived for the moment, that is, assuming most of it is true . . . Would just love to love it, baby.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 1, 2023

There is so much to love here. Jeremy Jordan brings an exuberance to the role of Neil Bogart that is planetary in its attraction, imbuing the film and co-stars to follow suit. Spinning Gold is a total recommendation.

| Apr 1, 2023

It's a music tale without a pulse, without rhythm. And most tragically, given its subject, without soul.

| Original Score: D | Mar 31, 2023

Spinning Gold would be perfectly fine as a jukebox musical on stage. But as a cinematic experience, this flashy movie erases too many important facts. Spinning Gold makes it look like agents and attorneys didn't exist in the 1970s music industry.
