Review

didn’t expect much from this indie romance, but was pleasantly surprised. the indie aesthetic hasn’t done much for me the last few years and it was off-putting at first, but i settled into it a bit and i think the director toned it done as the film went on. i can only  handle all the close-ups and hand-held stuff for so long.

both leads did a good job, but gosling was probably the better of the two. it’s a good film in the vein of revolutionary road, but in a completely different style.
