What to Know

Critics Consensus

At Any Price features a terrific performance from Dennis Quaid, and it offers further evidence of Ramin Bahrani's unique eye for detail, but film is weighted down by an overly melodramatic story.

Anna Smith Empire Magazine [A] handsome, slow-burning thriller ... Rated: 3/5 Jan 7, 2016 Full Review Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) It's an honest, grown-up, slightly earnest slice of rolled-sleeves Americana - something like the cinematic equivalent of a Steve Earle album. Rated: 3/5 Jan 3, 2016 Full Review Kate Muir Times (UK) Directed by Ramin Bahrani, Quaid gives a fine performance, but the drama reflects the flatness of the land it features. Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2016 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Very soapy, sorta dopey father-son drama. Rated: 2/5 Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens A title that actually capsulizes the film as a whole, every action in At Any Price has a price and every character is paying a price. Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine ...a lugubrious father-son farming melodrama... Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

KB B I've never heard of this film but gave it a shot because of the cast. It was a compelling movie with a good plot and storyline. Dennis Quaid was superb as usual. It's definitely worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Kyle M Ramin Bahrani's knack for shedding light in shades prompted subtle hefts lingers to wonder in addition to established parallels, his sense of pessimistic realism irrationally gone melodramatic that leaves a depressing taste, even with the nice cast feeling mutual about that in their minimal convictions with awkward prolongs. (B-) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Bernard N If I hadn't loved the movie first, from seeing it rated 4/4 by Roger Ebert, a critic I trust, I'd have gone only as far as the first race. Still, it dissapointed me in it's frivolities, the sketchiness of it's heros, and inspite of that terrifying and defining moment towards the end, the movie wasn't as pathetic as it's premise could have been with a little less care and deviation and melodrama. I don't know, one of those half-cooked films that almost worked. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/26/23 Full Review av s Unpopular movie because it is so blunt about fathers and sons. It is an excellent analysis of modern times. The main character played by Dennis Quaid does everything to keep his show on the road, but what is the cost of this? For society, critics and even movie studios, I imagine the message of this film is a challenging to observe - because. in a way. they are like the main character - but if you can it is a very powerful film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A Masterpiece! One of my favorite dramas that so beautifully shows genuine human dilemma and moral turmoil in a family. A great film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was so horrible it has me questioning Dennis Quads financial issues. Did he just want to act with Zac Efron? I'm a Dennis Quad fan but this movie is definitely questionable. It has so many story lines that go NOWHERE! Ugh. Not worth the time. I actually purchased the dvd from a store closing for .29 cents and would like my money back. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
