The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Goldstein...is excellent in the role, rendering Edith’s monstrous ambition with relatable (and frequently terrifying) conviction.

FULL REVIEW

Consequence

Feb 9, 2016

Although it stumbles a bit at the end with a self-aware redemption that isn’t entirely earned or particularly in character, Diamond Tongues is still a brilliant and realistic portrait of the young artist as a bitter borderline failure.

By Sarah Kurchak FULL REVIEW

Slant Magazine

Feb 15, 2016

Throughout, Pavan Moondi and Brian Robertson purposely indulge Hollywood formula only to subvert it.

By Nick Prigge FULL REVIEW

The Playlist

Feb 9, 2016

Diamond Tongues is refreshing because it isn't an indictment of a demographic, or even of Edith, but is a portrait of a young woman whose ambition has curdled into something more nasty along the way.

By Kevin Jagernauth FULL REVIEW

Movie Nation

Feb 9, 2016

Diamond Tongues is a witheringly funny but still sympathetic portrait of a show business “type.”

By Roger Moore FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Feb 18, 2016

The prickly tone is a difficult balancing act, and Diamond Tongues may settle for being a softer-hearted film than its most cynical scenes portend. But it has a palpable affection for Toronto’s cultural scene and for Ms. Goldstein.

It's Goldstein's performance that truly impresses.
