Review of The Place Beyond the Pines (2013) by Foxgrove — 15 Apr 2013
This can only be described as major disappointment. The story trajectory is sound, but the whole thing is so slow and drawn out that any real involvement with the characters just doesn't happen. Also, unlike many critics I was more interested in the segments involving Bradley Cooper and the two sons than I was in the Ryan Gosling section, despite this actor's obvious magnetism.
It's a shame because there are some wonderful nuances and subtleties throughout which just made me yearn for the film it might have been.
