A film in 3 acts...2 of which were so-so and the last very disappointing.
A tale of how fathers pass on behaviour to children, except the children had no character explanation and looked/acted nothing like the parents.
This was advertised as the latest and greatest Gosling vehicle despite Bradley Cooper having more screentime.
All a bit too meandering and careless.
5/10
The cast is great, but the story really lets them down, especially by the last act. Good review.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan. I was especially disappointed as I had enjoyed Blue Valentine so much. This was trying too hard. Credit to him for being adventurous in his film making...alas it didn't come off.
