Summary

Reviewers say 'The Golden Age' is transformative, exploring personal and spiritual growth, trauma, and healing. Praised for beautiful cinematography, soulful music, and compelling performances, especially Justin Connor's work as writer, director, and composer, it evokes deep emotions and introspection. However, some critics find it boring, poorly produced, and amateurish, with a lack of a real plot and unintentional humor.

A powerful journey of self discovery!

The Golden Age draws you in with mystery and great music. Behind the talent and fame, the universal struggle of existence is revealed. From the depths of pain, we follow a true seeker as he uncovers the deep spiritual longing within all of us. I was along for the rollercoaster of a ride all the way through, laughing, crying and feeling inspired to seek my own spiritual nature.

Visionary

Not a wasted frame. Not a wasted word. Not a wasted detail. THE GOLDEN AGE refuses to allow its audience to watch passively. Every filmmaking decision was a functional and imperative cog which created this fine work of cinematographic art. Maya O'Malley is each of us as we struggle to make sense of our own lives. If there can be such a thing, this will surely become a mainstream cult classic.

Outstanding

Justin Connor is a genius, his ability to write and script around the character Maya to express his own trauma history is awe inspiring. The soundtrack is amazing and to write, act, direct, perform this entire film over a number of years takes next level dedication, hopefully more independent film makers will take inspiration from this movie - outstanding and highly recommend it.. Bravo!

So Boring

This grainy video movie was so boring and made with amateur actors, it was unintentionally funny. There is no real plot, just following around weird looking old man wedding singer Mayo, and his hipster travels to meet various young boys. Lots of preachy self-important nonsense, and looks like it was shot with some cheap camera that's not even real HD oh my. Magnanimous it is not LOL.
