Even for viewers who've never read or heard of food critic Jonathan Gold, City of Gold offers a thoroughly entertaining introduction to a talented writer and brilliant career.

Gabbert's film is part portrait, part city symphony. It celebrates Gold as a fixture of his native Los Angeles and L.A. as in thrall to its stalwart guide. Apr 1, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

There's an honesty in what Gold writes and the way he writes it, which is why his words have so much impact. The film has a similar impact to one of his reviews. Apr 1, 2016 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

It's a documentary that is ostensibly a profile of a man, but is really about the vibrant city he inhabits, beyond the Hollywood sheen and the grit of Compton. Mar 25, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's a neat little bit of hagiography, dwelling fondly on his quirks, but that's OK. For people who want to taste the world, Gold is a patron saint. Mar 24, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A colorful and loving tribute to the kinds of restaurants that food critics once ignored - and a few fancy places as well. Mar 24, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

As cultural archaeology, unearthing the relationship between food and a city, food and a critic, a city and a critic and a swirling stew of all the above, it's fantastic. Mar 24, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

... in execution, the City of Gold felt more like a stale episode of The Bold and Beautiful but with Eli Roth's understudy at the helm. Jan 23, 2019 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…

The film is especially savvy in how well-organized it is, opening itself up gradually to those unfamiliar with either Gold or Los Angeles while giving those who hang on every word something new to chew on. Nov 15, 2018 | Full Review…

It seems knowing the man is less important that knowing the work itself, and City of Gold , while often poorly shot, joyously tracks Gold's way with words and the food he chooses to describe so eloquently. Nov 3, 2018 | Full Review…

The film is a poetic look at the past and present of a city much older than the recent troubles for which it is best known. Sep 26, 2017 | Full Review…

Do not go hungry to City of Gold, the tantalizing food will challenge you. It will also elicit an increased appreciation of good ethnic offerings, especially those that don't require a rich person's budget. Aug 29, 2017 | Full Review…
