Review of Half Nelson (2006) by Mike T — 27 Feb 2009
This is a film that finds the rare balance between subtle humanity and cinematic appeal. This is an absolutely beautifully written piece that allows Ryan Gosling to command the screen. The result is one of the finest, most emotionally stirring pieces of acting in American cinema during the 2000s.
Gosling is nuanced, fierce, heartbreaking and captivating all at once - and that's without speaking.
