Big Gold Brick recounts the story of fledgling writer Samuel Liston and his experiences with Floyd Deveraux, the enigmatic middle-aged father of two who enlists Samuel to write his biography. But the circumstances that lead up to this arrangement in the first place are quite astonishing--and efforts to write the biography are quickly stymied by ensuing chaos in this darkly comedic, genre-bending film.

In June 2021, Samuel Goldwyn Films acquired distribution rights to the film.[6]
On Rotten Tomatoes, Big Gold Brick holds an approval rating of 20% based on 35 reviews, and an average rating of 3.40/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "Quirky to a fault, Big Gold Brick tries and fails to use visual tricks and a crowded narrative to hide its fundamental lack of purpose."[7]
