"At the Heart of Gold: Inside the U.S.A. Gymnastics Scandal," shows she [Erin Lee Carr] has the same keen eye for detail and gift for storytelling that made her father, the late David Carr, a celebrated print journalist. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com 07/01/2019
By turning the documentary into such a powerful forum for the resolve and resilience of these young women, [Erin Lee] Carr, in filmmaking terms, really sticks the landing. Go to Full Review Bryan Armen Graham Guardian 07/01/2019
The 88-minute film succeeds where mainstream media too often failed... making full use of its feature-length canvas in pulling together the many complex threads of a story that was always bigger, and more sinister, than a single monster. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 10/21/2020
Among the many appalling things about this case is the fact, duly laid out here, that authorities primarily invested in trophies either dismissed or actively covered up such allegations. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/11/2020
The lack of a newsworthy breakthrough in the documentary doesn't make the film's emotional impact any less powerful. Go to Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter 05/26/2020
At the core of At the Heart of Gold is the brave testimony of scores of young women who described the trauma inflicted on them and their families. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

matt h @RT05315608 07/31/2021 Really good film about a very terrible, horrible situation. See more gareth d @HiGarethDavies 11/25/2019 Genuinely f*cking disgusting and at the same time a fascinating emotional watch. You might know the story at the surface, this takes you deep inside. See more 06/06/2019 Very eye opening documentary. See more 05/31/2019 I am quite emotionally strong, but i could not help but to break down after hearing some of the stories presented in here. As horrible as the headlines were, the reality was far worse. A day later and I am still feeling pain. See more russell h @RT85733992 05/31/2019 Very interesting documentary with a message. See more 05/11/2019 That was the most emotionally taxing documentary I have ever watched. An Incredible display of bravery from all of the girls and women who spoke up.
