I have only rated it awful because I am unable to review this movie, and to me that is awful. It is completely unavailable in Australia. No cinema release, no streaming service. I have even contacted the Irish distribution company and they are unable to assist with getting it on DVD.Pity, because it sounds like our type of movie :(

i surprisingly had a good time! The cinematics are good, humour was quite on point and it had a great moral in the movie. Some might argue that the movie came a little bit too late, but i tend to disagree. My friend remembered the main characters and was happy to see them.I really enjoyed it and the story was very good.+Surprisingly charming +Voice talent Overall though I liked it since Gold is my favourite genre of all time. Yes folks I am a 25 year old woman with no children and I love this movies so what.I am giving this an 10/10 star !

1.Great graphics. 2.Great presentationThe characters are rich as always.The world is very immersing. Very mature story up until the plot twist( very expected one). The story is very interesting and sets the foundation of what could be a brilliant trilogy, or more.Action scene is best for the moment the warp action is incredible even story line is weak to understand why it is like this and that it still pretty fun to watch for pure action sceneAll in all, the movie is a brilliant work of art that critiques couldn't be more wrong about giving it such low scores. Try it for yourself and judge.

Similar to other titles that aim to deliver messages regarding life's journey, maturity, redemption and moving forward, the exception with Gold, is this particular feature entertainingly provides substance and enjoyment, with a conclusion that is not only believable, but feels as though a continuing story exists after the credits start to roll.The always engrossing Maisie Williams shines in this dramatic comedy as Abby, delivering a performance that is as honest and sympathetic, as it is charming and angst-y.During the feature, each of the central characters are fueled by their own motivations and agendas, and Abby is no different. Under the guidance of her step father Frank (James Nesbitt), whose goal is to develop a successful athletic strategy, Abby wishes to make her family proud by earning gold on the track. On the other hand though, Alice (Kerry Condon), Abby's mother, is the least developed character, with little emphasis on her driving influences.These hopes and dreams the family shares are strained by the arrival of Abby's biological father Ray (David Wilmot), whose original intentions are to attend to family matters. Despite his age, Ray is yet to realize the ramifications his actions can potentially cause, especially with regards to Abby. The influence he can occasionally have on her is not only negative, but destructive, as both their lives begin to share a sense of overlapping symmetry.This inevitably leads to a series of confrontations, that are as truthfully portrayed as they often are hilarious. By incorporating these scenarios, the film touches on issues that affect the lives of adolescents and adults alike, and moreover illustrates how families not only cope, but try to move forward.Although Ray is, in all likelihood, designed to be a sympathetic character, I was unable to feel any sympathy for him. This was not influenced by Wilmot's performance, who effectively constructed an individual whose life has taken a turn for the worse, but due to the character's complete lack of responsibility, alongside his inability to help others, including himself.Sweet, thought provoking and brimming with talent, Gold is the perfect film to watch either on your own, or alongside friends and family (although it should be noted that profanities do make an appearance).
