Review of Lost River (2015) by Raupao123 — 12 Apr 2015
This is one of those movies that require complete attention from the viewer. It's not going to explain itself in a way kids would need it to be told. This is a movie about decay, childhood, fears, and is filled with many different meanings to many things.
It's a beautiful film, and it's story is easy to understand if given its due attention. Great actors, and stunning visuals. It inspires thoughts of introspection on the attentive viewer. Things like ´´what exactly is it that we are afraid?´´ or ´´ Why is it that we cling to certain things that aren't good for us? ´´ Whether Ryan Gosling did this intentionally, or by pure magical accident, it does not matter. What matters is that this is an incredible film, that although may be criticised as being too slow, or of having too many references to other directors, is compelling, and original in itself, and will surely become a cult classic.
Ignore the ´´professional´´ critics on this one, otherwise you'll miss out on something great.
