All the Money in the World

It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.

• “It’s as realized a thriller as you are likely to find, not only in the precision of its performances, but in its evocative use of location (Rome, London), its period detail (especially Williams’ clothing) and the tension of the younger Getty’s months-long captivity.”

  Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 100

• “Some people will think it’s a bizarre mess, others an unconventional masterwork. If there’s any justice in the world, the latter group will win out.”

  Clint Worthington, Consequence · 91

• “It's a true-life yarn loaded with extremes, of wealth, personal eccentricities, grief, tension, daring, criminal means to political ends, maternal drive and luck, both bad and good. It is also a peek into a rarefied world where money knows no bounds and yet means everything.”

  Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter · 90

• “All the Money in the World revs up beautifully, first as a thriller. But while the kidnapping is the movie’s main event, it is only part of a story that is, by turns, a sordid, desperate and anguished tragedy about money.”

  Manohla Dargis, The New York Times · 90

• “Plummer’s last-minute performance is smashing. In fact, the whole film is excellent.”
