The Place Beyond the Pines

The Place Beyond the Pines was just not enjoyable for me at all, even though I recognize its treats. The whole setup is just trying to be too artistic. The movie didn't get me attached to the characters, I need to see more good days to be sad about the bad ones. I couldn't root for any of the main characters since in some way they were all bad people. There's a twist in the middle that did not work for me even though I understand why it's there. The ending is just weird. The direction is also trying to be too artistic. The cinematography too, but the character-driven camera movements are what completely worked for me. I didn't like the editing. I think this film should be a lot shorter. The performances are good though. Ryan Gosling is an all time great actor, while Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes are really good. The Place Beyond the Pines has fundamental elements that I think ruin the movie, but I also understand why everything is the way it is.

Hauntingly beautiful music will rock you. A movie of generational curses, fathers, and desperation to get things right. This is a relatable, but heartpounding film that will grip you. Everyone in screen somehow manages to magnetize and pull you in body and soul. Though not exactly a feel good film, you will feel something awestriking that you wont recognize.

Alot of it was too phony for me. The acting was good just sort of stuck to the material though and its like it tried to hit deep but the phoniness weighs it down making it predictable and somewhat played out. Trying to hit deep and missing makes it something I wouldn't ever want to watch again

Riveting story that fully closes the circle of resolution. Excellent work by Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper. This movie has everything: Cops, Crime, Action, A love story, Politics, and Redemption. A little slow in the middle segment of a three part linear story, but its necessary for the buildup in the final part. Its a must see.

Marvelous 50 minutes movie !

The movie was great till Gosling died, after him the story got boring and very long...

The Place Beyond The Pines is a beautifully filmed drama with a mesmerizing score. It's a tragic and a heartbreakingly powerful film about fathers and sons, legacy, and consequences. Ryan Gosling as the violent, troubled Luke Glanton is mesmerizing. He never cease to amaze me. Intense actor.

One moment can change your life. The Place Beyond the Pines is a 2012 American epic crime drama film directed by Derek Cianfrance 💰 It’s okay, up to a point, but in the end it drags too much and loses focus… Not bad, but not my favourite either 😐 Meh, it passed the time. Just. 😐👍🏼👎🏼 A motorcycle stunt rider considers committing a crime in order to provide for his wife and child, an act that puts him on a collision course with a cop-turned-politician.

This place is too smart for its own good. It’s dark and sultry and isn’t respected to the degree that it should be. Applause

It felt like they tried to cram too much into this movie, but it was powerful and enjoyable.
