THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES

 

What I liked about this movie, in terms of story, was that it hit me with several unexpected events. The classic three act structure has been adapted to three stories that come together. Each one is compelling, well acted, with a great score and music choice. There are also some great shots that really accentuate character and propel the story. With all these attributes you’d think you’d have a fucking great film but somehow it doesn’t make it. But Derek Cianfrance is a fucking force to be recokoned with and only great things will come from this movie.
