There have been many reviews so far on this film, half great, half awful. I personally believe that if you do not like this film, then you are part of the problem with modern day cinema...narrow minded and without imagination or emotion. I have no problem with people disliking the film for what it is but to misunderstand it and review it as such, I will leave you to play with your action figures.
This film is all about how it makes you feel, with an often haunting and liquid soundtrack that immediately pulls you into this dreamlike mood. You immediately like Goslings character and the instant relationship he has with the little boy and the vulnerable mother. The quiet and mild natured Driver'a relationship with those he cares about and his unbeatable talent reminds me greatly of Leon but that point is the only link as this film is a completely different beast. I was genuinely taken aback with the turnaround in fearsome personality and gripped until the final credits. The idea behind the music filled scenes without dialogue is to set your imagination working much in the same way a book does. Wonderfully shot and well thought out soundtrack. By far the most original piece that has hit our cinemas for a long time.
I urge anyone who didn't understand or like it the first time, to read the good reviews and watch it again.
