This is a great movie. Not once was I bored by it. It is all about the choices we make and how those decisions impact our lives and that of others. It is my pick for Best Picture. Go see it. It will stay in your mind,forever.

This movie is painfully boring. And yes covers two generations and you'll feel that much older when you leave the theatre.

It's a slow-burner that burns so slowly its wick completely fizzles out. Full Review

A riveting crime thriller, it's also a multi-generational familial saga that approaches Greek tragedy. Full Review

The New Yorker
Cool, violent, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Gosling reprises his inexorable-loner routine from “Drive.” Cianfrance and the screenwriters Ben Coccio and Darius Marder wrote thirty-seven drafts of the script, but gave him almost nothing to say. He rides, he smokes, he knocks over banks, he loves his baby, and that’s it. Full Review
David Edelstein
New York Magazine (Vulture)
The segments are essentially monodramas, so sketchily written that the big moments feel less like recognizable human behavior than recognizable screenwriter overreaching. Full Review

The Hollywood Reporter
Cianfrance generally shows again that he knows how to build immersive characterizations with his actors. And while this sorrowful triptych is uneven and perhaps overly ambitious, the director displays a cool mastery of atmospherics and tone. Full Review
