Edith dreams of being a successful actress, but cannot land any roles. When she can't figure out what she is doing wrong, she starts to mess everything up.

Ms. Goldstein gives a performance that requires her to swing between disarming and loathsome. She demonstrates impressive skill in slowly peeling away her character's charm.

3/4

Throughout, Pavan Moondi and Brian Robertson purposely indulge Hollywood formula only to subvert it.

That she nonetheless emerges as all too relatable is a credit to Moondi's astute screenplay and the nerve-rattling performance by its lead performer, here making an auspicious acting debut.

B+

Diamond Tongues is refreshing because it isn't an indictment of a demographic, or even of Edith, but is a portrait of a young woman whose ambition has curdled into something more nasty along the way.

3/4

The second feature by Pavan Moondi and Brian Robertson, Diamond Tongues lives in its careful attention to detail, the meticulous but breezy way it captures Edith's meandering life as much as her increasingly destructive disenchantment.

"Diamond Tongues" is honest personal crisis set against the backdrop of the clash between what audiences want in art and what art ought to be. Goldstein is great in this film.

With Leah Fay Goldstein's sparkling performance, this film makes raw the mentalities of an ambitious actress, in dashing colors, with a flamboyant dark humor.

A silly movie about a woman that we don't care much about and her attempts to be successful in the movie industry.
