Kevin Maher Times (UK) A fascinating premise, some quirky characters and ravishing landscape cinematography eventually dwindle into nothing in this only fitfully interesting documentary. Rated: 2/5 Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian The film could have done with some tougher questioning of Fenn, a colourful, controversial figure now in his 80s. Rated: 2/5 Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Matt Turner Little White Lies There is something quietly tragic about the film, not just in the obsessive conviction of looking for something that may not even exist, but also in the cult of personality that exists around Forrest Fenn. Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2017 Full Review Josh Slater-Williams Vague Visages It may sound like an odd compliment to praise a film for coming across like an ambien trip. For many, that will be the exact opposite of what they want from any film. Me, I’m just glad this film exists. Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Charlotte Harrison Den of Geek Filmed in the truly beautiful and awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains landscapes, with the occasional breathtaking overhead drone shots, the individuals are left to tell their own story, not have one inflicted upon them. Rated: 4/5 Mar 13, 2020 Full Review Joseph Walsh CineVue You begin to wonder if the treasure is real, or is this some elaborate hoax by Fenn who is enjoying the power-trip and media attention. At one point Fenn claims, "We are all charlatans to some degree." - not exactly an encouraging statement. Rated: 2/5 Dec 27, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
