And people wonder why I hate most movie critics.

"Juvenile", "shallow", "dumb". Nothing reveals an artist like his creation.

Another Gosling flop. At this point, if this was, say, Franco (even though I don't like him either), there would be articles on why he can't make a hit movie or what happened to his career. And no, his choices really aren't interesting at all.

Why was this even selected to screen at Cannes? This is why I really don't care about this festival anymore and why it no longer holds any real prestige. They just choose films to get as many young celebrities to attend as possible regardless of the quality of the films.

I usually never like to see people fail but I've always been so annoyed by the Gosling overhyping and worship, so I'm not too sad to see his career take a few hits the last 2 years.

So Gosling is as big a poseur at directing as he is at acting? Huge Shocker.

I'm surprised Warner Bros. is distributing this in the states. When was the last time a studio released a film like this? Seems like a film even some of the bigger indie distribs would be skeptical of picking up.

I personally dont believe the critics. whatever they said is just crap. I dont think that film will be that awesome but it will not that bad. the real problem that gosling from beginning said he is influence by the director he work with and their actors said that film is like lynch meet twin peak. Now in every critic they compare the film to others rather than find something original. This thing happen with saint laurent. Critics compare it to biography rather than actual decade that director really want to show in film. Thats why be original. So Mr gosling next time just say that this is my original idea and i didnt being inspired by anyone rather than my own experience. than your film will be appreciated even it will be a crap

Read the script, played out exactly like this. However Tarantino has already proven if you just cram your films with homage after homage you will always have at least a small, but fervent group of supporters. Too bad.

I told you! Gosling is the worst. I'm so glad he's been knocked off his pedestal. He's just mediocre and contrived- always has been.

I had a feeling this wasn't going to be very good…

Interesting I'm a huge fan of Gosling and was crossing my fingers for him.
The reviews have been very mixed from what I've read so far so I guess I'll have to see it myself to judge.
I read the leaked script from 2012 and thought it had some great concepts but it was indeed underdeveloped and thought it was kind of dry. However I knew Gosling would rely on impressive audio-visual imagery to get his story across. Hopefully he doesn't get too down on himself from all the bad reviews because he's a tremendous talent otherwise.

Love the Gos, hated the script. Thought that the screenplay was devoid of a plot/interesting characters but the imagery and the idea of the club was extremely inventive. I'll see this in a theater for the cinematography.
