The Place Beyond the Pines

Saw the new Ryan Gosling/Bradley Cooper movie, The Place Beyond the Pines. It has ambitions as a Seriously Meaningful film, which it mostly lives up to. It’s a gritty flick, about what gets handed down from father to son – which isn’t always pretty – and the way actions echo across time. I give Gosling and Cooper credit for using their considerable star power to make a film that’s several notches more challenging than most Hollywood fare. Worth seeing. googlee666293b5d15d815.html
