I read the book awhile back, and had trouble imagining how a movie based on the book would be possible. I've just returned from the theater with my questions answered.
The story is quite brilliant, and the film makers managed to honor it with serious devotion to detail. It is human and humane, shocking and powerful. Frankly, it moved me deeply.
I urge everyone to take the time to see this film. If you haven't read the book, feel free to wait.
Honestly. I'm blown away. Ryan Gosling is great.

(13,676 posts)Loved it! Lots of details from the book were left out of the movie. None of them really mattered for the telling of the story.
The theatre was packed, which I haven't seen since pre-pandemic. Lots of folks are interested in this movie.

Agree - it's a really great movie! I think we collectively need something like this right now.

(3,218 posts)The box office was closed. Go inside to the machines to purchase a ticket. Senior, $10
Small coke, small popcorn. $14 (I got old) It's been over 10 years.
The movie is a mix. The basic story is very good but the execution was PG. I'm not sure what part is the 13.
I detected bits of Number 5 from Short Circuit, Interstellar, The Three Stooges, and Silent Running. A little cute mixed in with an important mission. It's a good movie with an interesting finish. (There is a 2 minute section which I don't like, but no spoilers.)
Take the family and enjoy!

Get some help. Negative obsession is not healthy.
It's a bad movie, deal with it.

(7,971 posts)You have a right to your opinion. But you've been a bit of a bully on this thread, almost as if you have a personal connection to the film.
You've expressed yourself. Relax.

Fact is, you're trying to bully me because you disagree with my opinion.
