Have I mentioned I think Gosling is really good? Wow. I do not know how I had never seen this. Watched it today. Gosling and based on a RIDICULOUSLY insane true story. Talk dirty to me.
This is an absolute must see. I cannot believe this is a true story. The depth that Gosling goes in this movie is INSANE. Just incredible range. A really all star cast.
Gosling plays the son of wealthiest real estate owner in New York City. Ryan Gosling grows up very rich and grows a disdain for his father (for a number of reasons) and wants nothing to do with the family or the business or the lifestyle. He wants to marry Kristen Dunst who comes from a humble nice family and move to countryside in Vermont. Well unfortunately Dad stops bankrolling or threatens to stop bankrolling that life which forces Gosling back to the city and to work for Dad. This turns him into a monster. He also never fully recovered from witnessing his own mother jump to her death at a young age.
Things get really dark, murders happen, people go missing and never found, there is shady MAYBE cover ups, there is Ryan Gosling cross dressing in hiding IT IS A FUCKING INSANE STORY.
This movie is absolutely an EXCELLENT FREAKING FILM. Great acting, wild story, thought provoking and super interesting.
Side note I notice it doesn’t have great reviews on IMDB or RT. Exactly why you come to me. They left out a lot of stuff. At times it felt rushed. And I have not read the reviews but I am sure that is what they are saying about it. They really did honestly rush the whole love story between Dunst and Gosling but that was not the point of the movie and wasn’t relevant. So screw their ratings. This movie is a must watch. That is a review.
ALSO ALSO I swear I am not being a Ryan Gosling homer. He just doesn’t miss. Dare you to tell me a movie he misses in. You can’t.
