Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Ms. Goldstein gives a performance that requires her to swing between disarming and loathsome. She demonstrates impressive skill in slowly peeling away her character's charm. Feb 18, 2016 Full Review Nick Prigge Slant Magazine Throughout, Pavan Moondi and Brian Robertson purposely indulge Hollywood formula only to subvert it. Rated: 3/4 Feb 15, 2016 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter That she nonetheless emerges as all too relatable is a credit to Moondi's astute screenplay and the nerve-rattling performance by its lead performer, here making an auspicious acting debut. Aug 12, 2015 Full Review Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist Diamond Tongues is refreshing because it isn't an indictment of a demographic, or even of Edith, but is a portrait of a young woman whose ambition has curdled into something more nasty along the way. Rated: B+ Aug 12, 2015 Full Review David Berry National Post The second feature by Pavan Moondi and Brian Robertson, Diamond Tongues lives in its careful attention to detail, the meticulous but breezy way it captures Edith's meandering life as much as her increasingly destructive disenchantment. Rated: 3/4 Aug 12, 2015 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto Diamond Tongues works both as a character study and an exercise in cringe comedy: you spend an hour and a half watching someone make a lot of bad choices, hoping that she'll learn from at least one of them. Rated: 4/5 Aug 6, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Gabriel C This is a hidden gem and a great reminder of what it is to be in your twenties before life has given you a direction. I remember so many aspiring artists when I was that age and it reminded me of so many mistakes and dead ends that most of us experience. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Audience Member "Diamond Tongues" is honest personal crisis set against the backdrop of the clash between what audiences want in art and what art ought to be. Goldstein is great in this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review yunzhi o With Leah Fay Goldstein's sparkling performance, this film makes raw the mentalities of an ambitious actress, in dashing colors, with a flamboyant dark humor. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A silly movie about a woman that we don't care much about and her attempts to be successful in the movie industry. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Really enjoyed this funny, quirky, indie movie with a lot of interesting characters and a great soundtrack.
