Let's start by saying : I love this kind of films.
OK, now that I say it, let's talk about the movie :
it is the debut of Gosling as a director, and even when you can see clearly influences in his work, I will like to say that it have a character of it's own. I can only compare it with a mix between Tim Burton and David Lynch, two dark-film directors, but everyone with it's own style.
The movie is an urban phantasmagorical fairy tale, a sad poetry of the suburbs and low life.
I can't see something not perfect with this movie, it have a everything : perfect acting, perfect OST, perfect photography, deep characters. Only thing I did like to know more about the background of the characters, a bit more about their story, because I felt a lot of empathy with every one of them (even the twisted ones).
I really want to see more Gosling's works, he have lot of potential as a director.
(warning : this movie is not for everyone.)
8,5/10
