Review of The Believer (2001) by Josecosta — 10 Apr 2016

This is a story about the rebellion of a young man regarding his religion. This young fella, who in the past, was taught to be Jewish, became to question Judaism ultimately having turned him into an anti-Semitic and a Nazism supporter.

With some twists and turns we realises that in the end he is Jewish, born and raised. An incredible performance of Ryan Gosling as a tough lunatic man and, I have to be honest, I think I felt a little in love for his lover, played by Summer Phoenix, a woman who is intriguing and gorgeous and that along the movie twists his mind with a mix of religious thoughts from one hand and fornication on the other.
