The Place Beyond The Pines

It is extremely unusual for a film to open in my local small cinema 3 weeks after its UK release, the fact that cineworld schedulers saw fit to put this on in Southampton is a testament to how well it has done at the box office in the larger multiplex cinemas. considering this film had little media and trailer coverage its success has been from word of mouth and the draw of it 2 lead actors and rightly so with superb performances from Ryan Gosling for the first hour and Bradley Cooper for the 2nd half. Following his performance in Silver Linings playbook the latter is fast becoming one of my favorite actors.

The performances of the two younger actors, Dane DeHaan and Emory Cohen are also exceptional.

This is a very raw and emotional movie, It is much less pleasing on the eye than other films one for the purists to enjoy the acting ability of its stars. The best film currently in the Cinema 9/10
