Goldie

Review Official Selection - Tribeca Film Festival Nominated - Crystal Bear - Berlin Int'l. Film Festival --- Woods, remarkably comfortable in her first film role, gives Goldie a steel spine and a feisty resourcefulness, her moments of vulnerability rare, but essential. - Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times Tremendously alluring, Woods, a fashion model making her feature acting debut, commands a slew of supporting players - each fancifully introduced - by harnessing all the elements that make up Goldie: her tarnished innocence, a survivalist mentality and undying hope. Woods detonates an explosion of raging emotions. - Carlos Aguilar, Los Angeles Times De Jong brings a jolt of brash energy to a social realist scenario that could easily have attracted Ken Loach or the Dardenne brothers. A charismatic, eye-catching debut performance from Instagirl fashion world star Slick Woods adds considerably to the film's appeal. --Allan Hunter, Screen Daily Suspension between can-do spirit and come-down reality pumps blood into the irrepressible heart of this scrappy tale, along with the natural charisma of model Slick Woods, making a disarming feature debut in the title role. - David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter Goldie (played by fashion model Slick Woods in her first movie role) is a lot like the film that bears her name: full of attitude, bursting with scrappy New York style, and stuck under the thumb of a merciless system that won't let her shine like she knows she can." - David Ehrlich, IndieWire In the confident hands of Dutch writer-director Sam de Jong, Goldie's story is one of big dreams and harsh realities, and the difficulty in learning one's limits. With vibrantly expressive aesthetics that match the energy of its defiant and distressed heroine, this impressive coming-of-age indie...heralds the arrival of both a distinctive new filmmaking voice and a leading lady with charisma to burn. --Nick Schager, Variety Product Description Goldie is a star â€" well, not quite yet, but at least in the eyes of her little sisters Sherrie and Supreme she is. The rest of the world is bound to take note soon too. Her big break surely awaits, she’s just got to pick up that golden fur coat she’s had her eye on first. And land a role as a dancer in a hip-hop video. And keep child welfare services from separating her from Sherrie and Supreme, after their mother is locked up. Holding onto those dreams isn’t easy when fate has placed such daunting obstacles in her path. With Goldie, Dutch director Sam de Jong has delivered a real New York film: raw and glamorous, unflinchingly realistic and relentlessly optimistic, with a ton of heart and at least as much attitude.
