The Gold Rush Reviews
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
Here is a comedy with streaks of poetry, pathos, tenderness, linked with brusqueness and boisterousness.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
City Lights might be Chaplin's most exquisite achievement, but he never made a funnier or more beloved film than his own personal favorite, Gold Rush.
Slant Magazine
Jaime N. Christley
What's surprising when one takes a fresh look at The Gold Rush is how much else there is, too, not just in terms of set pieces.
Variety
Variety Staff
The Gold Rush is a distinct triumph for Charlie Chaplin from both the artistic and commercial standpoints, and is a picture certain to create a veritable riot at theatre box offices.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Chaplin is the apotheosis of the world's despised and downtrodden, and also their hope; he heralds a revolution in anarchic beauty.
Los Angeles Times
Edwin Schallert
The first comedy of epic proportions has reached the screen.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
Eighty-five years young, "The Gold Rush" is still an effective tear-jerker.
Hollywood Reporter
Glenn Abel
The Gold Rush has been delighting audiences for almost 80 years -- it's one of the flat-out funniest films made in the silent era or any other.
The New Republic
Edmund Wilson
I prophesied that Chaplin, with his finer comedy and his less spectacular farce, would not be able to hold his popularity against it. What has happened is precisely the reverse of what I predicted.
DVDJournal.com
Mark Bourne
Chaplin said that it was the movie he most wanted to be remembered for, and damn if he didn't get his wish.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
Emotionally robust and genuinely hilarious in ways that transcend time and culture, it balances the witty and the sentimental and still finds plenty of room to inject the moments of underdog social commentary that were so crucial to Chaplin's worldview.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The blend of slapstick and pathos is seamless, although the cynicism of the final scene is still surprising. Chaplin's later films are quirkier and more personal, but this is quintessential Charlie, and unmissable.
TIME Magazine
James Agee
The result is a sight for sore eyes, for old-style Chaplin fans and novitiates alike.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Chaplin's Klondike masterpiece.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
No one can mix slapstick and sentimentality quite like Chaplin.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
Even with its (likely dictated) propaganda on behalf of the now-superfluous 1942 edition, this set restores a high watermark in cinematic comedy to nearly full glory.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
One of Chaplin's sweetest and most humble movies.
Kansas City Star
Eric Melin
It shows Chaplin mixing slapstick with heartbreak like nobody else could. It's plotted in an episodic fashion, but each piece of the puzzle is also a memorable, entertaining bit in and of itself.
