Ryan Gosling

Film Review: “Song to Song” — All You Need is Love?

Terrence Malick attempts to liven up this hackneyed soap/rock opera with his signature swooping camera moves and stunning cinematography.

Movie Review: “The Big Short” — Capitalism Gone Wild, Made Entertaining

The Big Short is a deftly sardonic piece of doomsday economic diagnosis that is as entertaining as it is alarming.

Film Review: “Only God Forgives” — A Pseudo-Greek Tragedy

Director Refn’s craftsmanship isn’t in doubt here, just whether this deadening story was worth all the effort.

Movie Review: “The Ides of March” — Even with George Clooney, It’s Politics as Usual

“The Ides of March” tells the same old political story: we know how tedious the campaign season is, we know that deals are made behind doors and that all that really matter are the numbers.

By: Maraithe Thomas Filed Under: Film Tagged: George Clooney, politics, Ryan Gosling, The Ides of March

Film Review: Take a “Drive,” She Says

In “Drive,” director Nicolas Winding Refn crafts a cool, tight and stylish film that gets away with a lot. He managed to make a movie that works as some kind of bizarre but wonderful Michael Mann/Jean-Pierre Melville/Quentin Tarantino mash-up, helmed by star Ryan Gosling, who described it as a “violent John Hughes movie.”
