Reviews for A Night at the Golden Eagle
1 - 20 (sorted by fresh rating)
The project is a labor of love, powerfully effective in shining a light on a part of the world from which most would rather avert their eyes.
04/14/02
Rifkin's references are ... impeccable throughout.
03/08/02
A modest pleasure that accomplishes its goals with ease and confidence.
04/25/02
Top CriticNothing about the stories in and of themselves is particularly original, but Rifkin knows how to create atmosphere.
05/17/02
This is a dark, gritty, sometimes funny little gem.

The director seems to take an unseemly pleasure in [the characters'] misery and at the same time to congratulate himself for having the guts to confront it.
04/26/02
Top CriticThese are textbook lives of quiet desperation.
04/29/02
One just waits grimly for the next shock without developing much attachment to the characters.
05/02/02
Top CriticNo review available.
08/08/05
Another in-your-face wallow in the lower depths made by people who have never sung those blues.
04/26/02
Top CriticToo bad writer-director Adam Rifkin situates it all in a plot as musty as one of the Golden Eagle's carpets.
04/26/02
Rifkin no doubt fancies himself something of a Hubert Selby Jr., but there isn't an ounce of honest poetry in his entire script; it's simply crude and unrelentingly exploitative.
04/25/02
Never decides whether it wants to be a black comedy, drama, melodrama or some combination of the three.
04/26/02
Top CriticWhat little grace [Rifkin's] tale of precarious skid-row dignity achieves is pushed into the margins by predictable plotting and tiresome histrionics.
