knvixen One of the worst films I've ever seen. The story was incidents stringed together with no continuity and gratuitous poor quality gore. I can't express how much I hated it
Declan Wall The best looking art film I've ever seen. Benoit Debie delivered absolutely exceptional visuals in this film. Fantastic Direction of the actors and memorable characters. There doesn't seem to anything pushing the story through, although this is clearly the intention (just as with any art film) so it is hard to judge Lost River for this.Ryan Gosling has directed a debut art film that in my eyes rivals the artists he clearly takes inspiration from. Although I can see other filmmakers in this, they come together to form something different, something Gosling.Absolutely worth watching if you're into art cinema. 0/10, should have been called "Read My Lips".
jeffpk This is really a mess of a movie. It has a few interesting ideas, and some interesting but not always consistent imagery, but in the end fails to deliver on any of the questions it sets up. Like the "shows within the show" the movie seems most of the time to just do things for shock value and no other narrative purpose.If David Lynch had a totally incoherent dream (for David Lynch), this might be it. Lynch at least teases us with a feeling of connectedness and gives us some kind of ending. This movie fails to do either.The cinematographer should get credit for his sometimes striking visuals, but that's about all there is to this film.
Reno Rangan It's not the first time the actors who reach a certain stage of their acting career to shift their gear to the direction mode. So this time it is none other than the Canadian import, Ryan Gosling. He produced, wrote and directed this fantasy-drama-mystery which looks like a semi apocalyptic film. Very interesting concept and the cast as well. Quite impressed by the narration with those suspenses, decent story as well, but kind of complicated to understand the mix its genre.Actually, it was not a bad film, except the story won't go deeper into the characters to uncover them completely. Especially no details about the earlier years at the place where it sets in which what the title denoting. The rest of the developments are unpredictable yet created enough curiosity to hook with. The location was awesome, I mean it was kind of a wasteland, though perfectly matched to what script wanted. The overall idea of the film was like when 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' meets 'Goonies'.The story did not deliver a satisfying ending after all those promises were made in the first two acts, but overall film was a much better than any fancy twist we would expect. So the film is not for everybody, only if you ready to accept any kind of turnover at any stage of the narration, even it is a very plain, then you can consider it. Not an ideal directional debut for Ryan, but definitely a fine first step to explore the field in the coming years. Surely he would come out with a masterpiece and I'm looking forward for that.6/10
