“THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES”
An engaging narrative, repelling story and a master piece from Director Derek Cianfrance.
First
it’s Ryan Gosling and then Brad Cooper in the second half who makes unlived
with their top notching performance, but it’s Ryan Gosling (was
amazing--highlight of the film) who steals show with his less screen time role than
Brad plays “Luke Glanton” the overly and
badly tatooed motorcycle stunt rider.
Ryan Gosling's characterization of the low class Luke is heartbreaking
and raw. Brilliantly portrayed of these two characters of Ryan & Brad plays
a rookie police officer Avery Cross.
The movie “The Place beyond the Pines” set in and around Schenectady, N.Y. runs
in three part reveals Father & Son relation, third part takes to a different
note place 15 years later, when Luke's son Jason (DeHaan) meets Avery's son
(Cohen), and the two partner in teenage misbehaviour. And the sudden focus on
the kids was heartbreaking without knowing much about how they became so tender
and damaged.
I was moved by the story, and the performances of Ryan Gosling.
Final
word, “The Place Beyond the Pines” is an enthralling, well designed and acted
film.
