Lost River was disappointing...

LOST RIVER is the sadistically surreal directorial debut of actor Ryan Gosling. A twisted, experiential exercise, Gosling invades the screen with a nightmarish barrage of hallucinatory neon, mystical mayhem and fetishist brutality, with each shot shimmering into a frenzy of overwhelming aesthetic beauty. That said, Gosling ultimately sails into deep waters and sinks this brave vessel through a hollow, two dimensional script that's too clouded by it's influences - like Terrence Malick and Nicolas Winding Refn to name a few. All in all, this movie's heightened, delirious reality barely warrants a recommendation. Just know that this is definitely more "Nosferatu" than "Notebook." 
This movie is rated R (for disturbing violent images, language and some sexual content), therefore it is not suitable for children or people under the age of 18.

"Ryan Gosling tries his hand at writing and directing with this fantasy thriller starring Christina Hendricks as a mother struggling to protect her kids in a dreamlike city." - Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi
