What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Sheri Linden  Actor strikes gold as feverish dreamer - but not film. | 10 |  |
| Cape Times Unknown | 5 |  |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy It’s McConaughey who shines brightest here in a seriously deglamorized role and performance. And while the overall film might not reach 24-karat standards, he and the engaging if occasionally flawed story make ’’Gold’’ worth investing your time and money. | 12 |  |
