Another Gosling Smash

Rating: 6/10 (28 April 2017)

After Watching Lars and the Real Girl, I gained a new hobby: Watching Ryan Gosling develop mental disorders.
It was fantastic to watch him slide into a schizophrenic dystopia but now, with Drive I can see into the mind of Gosling as he gradually slides down the autism spectrum. Running from dedicated aspie to full-on nonverbal murdertard, this performance was one of the most wild rides I've ever been on.
Christina Hendricks was an odd but fitting choice for a throwaway actress, because usually her rack gets her a recurring role but in this case I think Refn just wanted to remind us all that there are times in your life when a huge pair of jugs bounces your way but you have more important things to focus on even though you always have them in the corner of your eye.
