The Place Beyond The Pines


Watching this movie gave me the same feeling I got watching Blue Valentine. Everything just comes together perfectly in this movie; the multi-layered characters in which the actors do not act the character but instead just become the characters, the plot which eerily resembles the way real life tend to sneak up on you to steer you away from the typical Hollywood happy-endings...

It's so good but so hauntingly real that I cannot bring myself to watch the movie again. Even how much I wanted to (...see Ryan Gosling's perfect abs). This movie gives you the goosebumps that linger around even after the movie is over.

That's two gold stars in a row, Derek, I can't wait for the third.
