This is an amazing movie stuffed with intense emotional drama. This happens to be the first movie I have seen from writer-director Derek Cianfrance and I can say for sure he is a very talented guy. All the actors gave powerful performances in accordance with the brilliant direction. The ones I liked in this flick are certainly Gosling and Cooper. You all may have seen Bradley Cooper in action packed and comic roles. See this one and you will know how emotionally powerful he can be. Ryan Gosling is maturing as an actor as well. Although, his semblance is concise, he intensifies the screen with his presence. Eva Mendes is superb in showing her sentiments flowing. One other young actor who shines is Dane DeHaan. I saw him in Lawless and Chronicle. He's gonna go very far if he continues in this fashion.
The story is fairly acceptable but the main focus of this movie is the acting. It sanguinely shows that we can never turn our back on fate. Fate has its own way of grooming us.
Probably, one of the best dramas I've seen lately.
A must watch. 8/10.
