Review For At Any Price
The disappointment and malaise of a modern farmer's life comes through, but almost as an afterthought. As Bahrani makes clear, it's worth a more focused film.Tom Long-Detroit News
Bahrani fills the frame with weathered faces and "At Any Price" feels like it unfolds in something close to the real America. But he wants to give us larger-than-life drama, and his strengths are life-sized.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe
Bahrani seems less interested in getting at the heart of a man who has sold his soul than he is in showing how the hard facts of modern farming have literally and figuratively changed the landscape.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
Written and played with a little more subtlety, Henry and his contradictions could have been fascinating; as it is, "At Any Price" keeps us at a distance, gazing at characters who never quite come to life.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Like the small farmers forced to kowtow to corporations, writer and director Ramin Bahrani chickens out. His melodramatic script reduces a global conflict to a Grain Belt "Glengarry Glen Ross."
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
It clumsily showcases an environmental issue -- in this case, the corporate strong-arm tactics used to promote GMOs -- through routine interpersonal drama.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
Bahrani is striving for something epic and tragic - Shakespeare among the soybeans - but too often the film settles for merely melodramatic.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Though Bahrani may be moving toward the mainstream here, he remains an empathetic, nuanced chronicler of the American working class.
Eugene Novikov-Film Blather
At Any Price isn't so much about race cars or corn as it is about what price we're willing to pay to protect what we love, and to keep our hopes and dreams alive. As such it's a fitting parable for our times.
Kim Voynar-Movie City News
As is implicit in the title, the destructiveness of competition is a rippling concern in Bahrani and co-writer Hallie Elizabeth Newton's unpredictably expansive script.
Guy Lodge-HitFix
At its heart, the film is a small-scale story about two men learning how to fix their mistakes -- or, if that isn't possible, to live with them.
Eric D. Snider-Twitch
A thought-provoking and original drama that takes an intriguing look at the competitive nature of the agricultural industry.
John Hanlon-Big Hollywood
Dennis Quaid gives a deep performance of a shallow farmer who's obsessed with success. But the script for this unfocused, distraction-saddled heartland drama needed more cultivation.
John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
Dennis Quaid turns in a strong performance, but writer-director Ramin Bahrani's earnest but unfocused melodrama offers neither a compelling storyline nor a satisfying message.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
With Bahrani's assured direction squaring off against his ragged script, this proves to be a mixed bag of a movie, maybe worth seeing for reduced admission but not necessarily at any price.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Bahrani's evocation of place and culture is utterly convincing, even if his story seems to have gone before the cameras before it was quite ripe.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
It cheats you with acres of unharvested ambitions.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger
while [Bahrani] did create a sociologic examination of an industry and culture that effects everyone, and educates the audiences, he didn't know how to end the story.
Matt Kelemen-AspectRatio.us
... sporadically compelling drama, a lack-of-character study trashy enough for fun and thoughtful enough to be taken seriously.
Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times
Maybe the writer-director found himself adrift in the corn fields.
Lawrence Toppman-Charlotte Observer
We don't need to love the characters to care for them but not hating them will help us build a bridge to apathy PDQ.
Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Movies With Butter
A haunting portrait of the relationship between fathers and sons as being built on a foundation of intersecting interests.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Just like the seeds, At Any Price is genetically modified reality.
Tony Macklin-tonymacklin.net
Though well-researched and competently acted, At Any Price doesn't risk much, having neither a thesis nor a resolution. Like an awkward hug between estranged relations, there's a lack of confidence in the execution.
Leah Churner-Austin Chronicle
TagLine At Any Price Some things are only revealed by accident.
