Big Gold Brick recounts the story of fledgling writer Samuel Liston and his experiences with Floyd Deveraux, the enigmatic middle-aged father of two who enlists Samuel to write his biography. But the circumstances that lead up to this arrangement in the first place are quite astonishing--and efforts to write the biography are quickly stymied by ensuing chaos in this darkly comedic, genre-bending film.

Critics Consensus

Quirky to a fault, Big Gold Brick tries and fails to use visual tricks and a crowded narrative to hide its fundamental lack of purpose.

Big Gold Brick”may be a film absent even the faintest trace of purpose or momentum -- its endless parade of energy-less moments connected only by the lack of life shared between them.

Big Gold Brick may be a bit too enamored with its own quirkiness, but everything Garcia does, no matter how outlandish, feels perfectly natural.

1/4

Unlike many other film enthusiasts turned filmmakers, Petsos hasnt figured out anything useful to do with his influences.

7.5/10

Big Gold Brick could’ve been trimmed down a bit with a runtime of two hours and twelve minutes, and some of the characters, like Lucy, are not fully fleshed out. But overall, I enjoyed Petsos’ strange vision.

2.5/5

If you can get on the exact same wavelength as 'Big Gold Brick', then there's plenty to enjoy about writer and director Brian Petsos' distinctly unique and wholly original debut feature.

Promoted as a cerebral comedy, but comes off as dumb.
