- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Ulee's Gold' is a story of redemption, and Nunez doesn't make redemption look any easier than it is."
-
"'Ulee's Gold' stands out for its sureness, its quiet emotional force and writer-director Victor Nunez's ability to find and nurture the mystery and power in the events of an ordinary life."
-
"Though it occasionally wears its metaphors on its sleeve, Ulee's Gold should, if there's any justice, find the same thoughtful-drama-hungry audience that made 'Sling Blade' a hit."
-
"Nunez finds a striking lyricism in simple lives that inspires an uncommonly fine cast and ranks him as a world-class filmmaker."
-
"Fonda brings all of his childhood frustration and angst to the screen in one of the year's most unexpectedly brilliant acting performances."
-
"Nunez has a gift for finding the essence, the soul, of his actors."
