What do Donna Summer, Parliament, Gladys Knight, The Isley Brothers, The Village People, and Bill Withers all have in common with the rock band KISS? They all rose to their musical heights under the watchful ear of the music industry's most colorful and brilliant music producer, Neil Bogart, founder of Casablanca Records, the most successful independent record company of all time. Along with a rag-tag team of young music lovers, Casablanca Records would rewrite history and change the music industry forever. Their mix of creative insanity, a total belief in each other and the music they were creating, shaped our culture and ultimately defined a generation. In a story so unbelievable that it can only be true, comes the motion picture event of the musical journey of Neil Bogart and how his Casablanca Records created the greatest soundtrack of our lives.

Critics Consensus

A fairly flat telling of a true story that was far more colorful and entertaining in real life, Spinning Gold is destined for the cutout bin.

The movie suffers from a lack of objectivity about its subject as well as from a lack of vision about the film’s true direction...

The biopic as Wikipedia entry where you look up the Wikipedia entry and see that it is, in fact, more accurate — a better biopic — than the movie.

While Spinning Gold took many gambles to hit gold cinematically, it fell very short for me. From the TV budget-level green screens to the hopeful work of rotoscoping its main characters, everything felt like it under-performed as a film.

More than a biopic, Spinning Gold is an unabashed homage to Neil Bogart... [Full review in Spanish]

Spinning Gold doesn't work as a fable about the pursuit of the American dream but as a superficial, schematic approach to an era with an artistic effervescence that still impresses us today. [Full review in Spanish]
