Jo and I weren't expecting great things from this movie after reading the reviews. However, we have both often disagreed with most of them and there was nothing else on at our local cinema so we sat down and watched "Spinning Gold" with not much expectations. It was billed as the "life and career of record producer and Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart, who was credited with discovering many iconic musical acts such as Donna Summer, KISS, Village People and signing and pushing acts including Gladys Knight and the Pips, the Isley Brothers, and Parliament to greater heights" - Wikipedia. That seemed to us more positive so we sat down with THREE other patrons in the 250 plus auditorium that did not swell in numbers during the 137 minutes running time. We had to agree that the first hour of the movie was hard going. Flat is the nicest adjective I can give it. However it did improve in a BIG way in the second plus hour. Whilst I can understand some reviewers felt Jeremy Jordan in the central player, Neil Bogart ,was overacting but I understand that is exactly as he was in real life. He boasted he changed his name continually and never seemed worried he was 6 million dollars in deb! However, he persevered and as most of us would have given up he never-the-less carried on with energy that even made his wife and friends, relations, etc to believe in him. It came as a shock to me that he died very young from cancer and during the end credits they showed a real interview he gave just before he shockingly died. The last hour and a half flew by and there was enough music in it to really entertain us - how could you not move your body to Donna Summer!. So, do stick with it - it is well worth it.

I really enjoyed it.

Interesting story and well acted but a little too long for my liking.

What started as a sleeper turned into a very surprising enjoyable nostalgic cinematic treat.

Way too long, great music but had very little "real" plot for a true story

Boring, hard to understand when the narrator spoke.

Nice story.Never got too high or too low.

always wondered about casablanca records and all their hits in the late 70’s. This film takes you thru those incredible times.

I like movies regarding music. It showed somewhat how the record industry works.

Although I would have cast other actors to play KISS members Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley, I have to say that this was a wonderfully produced, very entertaining film. There are some liberties with the “KISStory” minutiae, but so what. Very well acted and shot. Highly recommended

This movie was amazing ! Its a great story of a real record man from early days to building an Empire with really great songs and artists and that era is long gone he risked it all I loved it top to bottom.

Great movie, found on Facebook, less than 10 people in the movie theatre. Shame wasn't advertised more

Awesome movie sad that no one knows of him Neil Bogart.

I loved Spinning Gold. It was a time in my life that was full of wonderful music! Brought back many great memories. The acting and music were spot on. Highly recommend.

Music was great! Story a tad slow but definitely a movie of drive and hope for dreams.

Wow Very Interesting Story. Something Millions of People Never Knew. Loved it

The storyline, I love a good music history movie

Interesting if you’re into the music of that era

It was good. Even though the makeup of KISS is not the same. I can’t wait for KISS’ biopic on Netflix next year.

Excelent for me with totally remembrance about Casablanca
