Review of Lost River (2015) by Amber K — 08 Apr 2015

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of this films script back when it was more cleverly titled as "How to Catch a Monster" and although that was about two years ago I still remember it well.

I was impressed by the imagery Gosling put into his writing and was pleasantly surprised to see that same vision being translated into the film with stylish cinematography and an aptitude for colour. However, Gosling tries to fit too many narratives into such a short time-span, so instead of getting one fully fleshed out tale of recession-woes the audience instead receives a watered down version of what could easily be four separate stories that intertwined.
