"Derek Cianfrance has now placed himself in the canon of great, contemporary American filmmakers like James Gray, Paul Thomas Anderson and the Coen Brothers." I know you're excited, but please calm down. Good review, though. Sounds like a good movie.

Wow Emory Cohen is a revelation? He sucks so much on "Smash". But hey I guess the material made the difference

I love Cianfrance + Gosling but no way this is graded higher than THE MASTER.

No mention of Rose Byrne?? Also, how is Cianfrance in PTA's league?

Excited for this but what about the female roles? Review barely mentioned the female roles or performances. Films like this sometimes tend to sideline the women characters. Is that the case here?

Wow everything about this sounds fucking awesome, can't wait to see it. I trust you guys that it's as good as you say it is, this one seemed to have a lot going for it right from the get go. Also on a side note I always hate it when people complain about grammar in the comments section but seriously this one was bad, just proofread that shit, even just a cursory proofread… Ok nit picking over with

Sounds like it could be fantastic. I really liked Blue Valentine so I'm definitely interested in what he'll do with this. I remember, a couple of months ago, the filmmakers described it as The Deer Hunter meets The Godfather, so naturally I was very curious to see how this would turn out. Gosling is easily my favorite young actor working right now so the fact that he's in it only sweetens the pot. This is definitely a film I will have to avoid all trailers for, as it doesn't sound like a film you want to have spoiled before you see it. I'm tempted to just let this review be the last thing I read about it. I hope this finds a distributor soon and gets put into theaters before 2013. We already lost Only God Forgives to 2013, I really don't want to lose this one too.

If I wasn't a fan of Blue Valentine, will I still like this or should I skip it?

Kevin Jagernauth is seriously just the worst WORST critic. I'm sorry, but someone needs to take his keyboard away please. What a douche!

To Kevin: How would you describe its visual style? Is it different than the hyper realistic, grtity style of Blue Valentine? Could you compare it to another visually similar film? And can you compare it to any similar crime films in terms of tone and style?

Derek is a very talented filmmaker and this film sounds really exciting, but Paul Thomas Anderson? Really?

Word of warning to anyone interested in this movie, don't read the Variety review, he gives away the plot twist and it's a huge one..What's with that!?

My cousin almost got the role that went to Dane DeHaan so I know about this major "plot twist"… A lot of fangirls won't be happy. The script was really good though. Great material all around for all actors…

It's hard for me to imagine how this kind of film would place Cismfrance in the same league as PT but I havnt seen the film … You're praise definitely has me excited to see what he came up with.

Can we really take Kevin's review seriously? He's so obsessed with and biased towards Ryan Gosling, I'm pretty sure he has his own shrine dedicated to Gosling at this point. He's always ridiculously hyperbolic and never critical towards anything involving him.

"And that's all we can tell you about the plot because a major narrative twist at the end first act is best left unspoiled"

By saying that you've just spoiled the plot twist. Thanks. Do you really believe we're stupid enough not to understand what you've just hinted at? Goddamn, you know this isn't even the first article to make this stupid mistake. Why can't you people just say it was good and speak about its strong points? Fuck me. For the love of god, edit your article so as to not spoil the next poor bloke who has the misfortune of reading it.

And for all you morons answering the question whether or not a certain actor is in it for a long time or not AKA: Fenny, shut your mouth, your response combined with Kevin's review DEFINITELY gives away the twist. God, you people are so ridiculous.
