Emilliano Jr S An instant classic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review J M This is more an actor's showcase than a fully satisfying motion picture, but when your actors are Gosling and Williams, there's not a whole lot to complain about. Both are predictably excellent, and they are basically the center of the universe here, as there are no supporting characters given more than a scene or two and there is no plot to speak of whatsoever. This is basically a series of excerpts detailing the rise and fall of a marriage. There's not a lot of information given to explain the deterioration of their union, and maybe that's the point of the film - that sometimes people just fall apart. If you ever want to debate monogamy, use this film as Exhibit A. Thankfully the actors deliver brilliantly in a series of extended scenes that are sometimes almost too difficult to watch. So while not a wholly satisfying film, it's a pleasure to watch acting of this caliber. - Jeff Marshall, Movie Blogger (Facebook) Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Connor S Even in the pain there's beauty in this movie; Michelle and Ryan are both magic and hellacious together, which fits in line with the theme. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review k m A brilliant film. The acting performances were powerful and spot on. A warning: this is not a sappy and cheesy love story. Just because it has Ryan Gosling doesn't mean it's a sequel to the Notebook. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Lucia R I had no emotional stability but this film took it all away from me. For me it was difficult to watch cause of the emotions I felt, it was all very strange. And all thanks to the fact that I like Ryan and I wanted to see his films. Traumatized. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Alec C Relationships are either incredibly fulfilling or emotionally draining! A couple starts to question their choices during their marriage as they reach a rough patch and long-restrained resentments begin to resurface. Shown in both the optimistic past and the sobering present, we're forced to watch as this unhappy couple slowly begin to fall off the deep end!
