One of my all time favourites

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2019)

There are many good romantic films, but this one just feels different.
It starts with a broken relationship and Cal (Steve Carell) is the broken man. He finds comfort in a local bar and alcohol, telling all who listen how his wife had cheated on him. The same bar is the playground for Jacob (Ryan Gosling) and seeing the pitiful Cal takes him under his wing.
It is an interesting look at how how middle age love is different from young love, how in time we can lose our ways and sometimes we need to look at ourselves and fight for the one we love. It also reveals the weakness of casual relationships and the rewards of commitment and true love.
