The Golden Glove Reviews
AV Club
Katie Rife
And while that opening scene is undoubtedly shocking, the cumulative effect of all this despair is ultimately even more unsettling.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A bleak, depressing attempt to remove all glorification or justification from the serial killer subgenre.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
Dead from the moment it starts, and once you get used to the stink, there's nothing to do but wait for it to go away.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
This long slog through the gutter, from the first brutal murder to [Fritz] Honka's grisly yet comedic arrest, is a tough stroll that it's hard to recommend.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
I'd be happier if I'd never laid eyes on it.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
Although psychological substance runs slim, Akin renders most mainstream depictions of degenerate minds lighthearted.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
This subject matter is of the heaviest variety, and its central character not one you're supposed to like. But it is a story with immense artistic merit and a new angle of this subgenre with something important to say.
TheWrap
Michael Nordine
Another in a long line of serial-killer dramas under the impression that it needs to be as ugly as its subject in order to be authentic, ultimately serving as further proof that verisimilitude isn't a virtue in and of itself.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Filmmakers can have a tough time distinguishing themselves in the crowded serial-killer genre. For Fatih Akin, the director of "The Golden Glove," the solution seems to have been making his movie as vomitous as possible.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Even hardcore Akin devotees should proceed with caution, and be ready for disillusionment. The craftsmanship is there. But Akin's judgment has gone AWOL, and with it, his heart.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Aiming for stabs of morbid humor amid its relentless gutter-level horror, "The Golden Glove" instead takes on the flat, numbing quality of a particularly hardcore Punch-and-Judy show.
Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
On some level Fritz's story is compulsive viewing, only you wish you weren't there.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Britt Hayes
Grotesque as it is, The Golden Glove is a profound exploration of the ease with which depravity is bred and nurtured in the carcinogenic, sticky corners inhabited by indigent people - and women in particular - who have aged out of our concern.
Consequence
Dan Caffrey
The Golden Glove definitely isn't for everyone, and even when divorced from its more transgressive scenes, it's not exactly a pleasant viewing experience. But for those not repulsed, there's a lonely, human heart at its center.
Crooked Marquee
Eric D. Snider
I don't see how the film is of any value other than as a technical exercise (for filmmakers and actors, not murderers), but the craft of it is undeniable.
Slashfilm
Chris Evangelista
Fatih Akin's The Golden Glove is the rawest, most real, and most brutal serial killer movie since Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
Cultured Vultures
Redmond Bacon
Beneath all the horror, there is hope. You just have to look past all the dead bodies to the darker heart within.
Brightest Young Things
Alan Zilberman
This is a film that will struggle to find an audience, unless there are people out there who thought Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was too tame.
WBAI Radio
Prairie Miller
The take no prisoners daring director's perspective focuses yes on disturbing, but more as mirror reflecting back with ugly historical truths. Think terrifying trajectory as grotesque human canvas extending from Bosch and Bruegel to late stage capitalism.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The content is disgusting. The backdrop against which this story unfolds is equally unappealing.
