Francesco A @GeneralAkAbA 04/10/2022 It looked like a book, mixed with a touch of theater acting, all squeezed in a movie. It was nice. Unexpected. And self-conclusive. See more Nick N 03/27/2022 An utter waste of talent and worse, a waste of your time. From the overly-long static shots to the plot that goes nowhere to characters you simply don't empathize with or even hate, why this movie exists is beyond me. Emory Coehn does a job of portraying a pathetic loser, but there's nothing about the character that creates any real reaction. The movie is trying too hard to be bizarre and kooky with no pay off at all. See more 03/25/2022 This had all the components to be good it just never caught its stride 2.8 . I also did not like the lead biographer See more 03/04/2022 Best movie I've ever seen. See more 03/02/2022 Thought-provoking. Emotional. Petsos lets us into a carefully constructed world of beauty and absurdity full of peculiar circumstances and dazzling characters; highlighted with brilliant visuals, well-timed humor, and a polished soundtrack. Big Gold Brick is a work that invites repeat viewing. It will make you ponder the world at large and leave you with a long-lasting sense of wonder and awe. See more 03/02/2022 A poetic vision wrapped in a dark absurdist comedy, "Big Gold Brick" isn't a film for those who refuse to—or simply don't know how to—contemplate life beyond the surface. This is the type of film that will move you to both feel and think. Then cause you to ponder your role in the absurdity of life, all while taking you on an entertaining ride that causes you to laugh in the most unexpected moments—like the comedic timing of a cotton swab jar emptied or a full-on mental war waged with a Santa doll. The writing is brilliant and multi-layered, making it a film you can watch five times and still find something new you hadn't considered before. There's satire on fate with the two main characters embodying a juxtaposition of near apathy and "everything has a purpose." This is the kind of film you watch and know the writer/director thought deeply about every single detail with profound intention. Every color of every set, every ebb and flow of the soundtrack, every detail of a simple frozen yogurt logo. This isn't pure entertainment. "Big Gold Brick" is the perfect combination of art and entertainment, not taking itself too seriously while also maintaining elusivity only detectable to those who like their films to feel more like art. In other reviews he's often compared to veteran directors, but he's not a conglomerate of writers and directors piled into a film. He's Petsos. And someday that name will be used as a comparison when rookie filmmakers enter the scene. He's just original. The film is original. And like it or love it … there's not one person who can deny that it's incomparable to anything they've ever seen before. See more Read all reviews
