Half Nelson is a great low budget indie film and it catapults Ryan Gosling among the list of A-list actors. Gosling's performance as a teacher who struggles with substance abuse is remarkable and he reels the audience in with his charisma and his sympathetic actions.

I really enjoy the fact that Gosling does indie films and is not caught up in the mainstream because it allows him to display his true potential as an actor. I can't wait to see Blue Valentine, Gosling is getting great reviews and it will be nice to see him in another low budget film that focuses primarily on the emotions of the actors.
