Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2014)

When I first watched this movie in 2011 I rated it 1 star. I thought it was slow and boring. I felt as if Gosling was asleep throughout the entire film and the director must have been heavily sedated. Imagine my shock when I saw all the rave reviews on IMDb. I was watching TV last night and came across this movie on the ESPN channel so decided to give it another chance. May be I was tired when I first watched it or didn't have an opened mind. Plus it's been 3 years and I've changed so why not.
Boy am I glad I decided to watch this masterpiece again. It drew you in with the car chase and kept you hooked with the beautiful and hunting scenes and music. Gosling was perfect as the reserved and mysterious neighbor. He barely said much but didn't have to. I liked that the movie left you with questions. It was sort of unfinished but finished. Definitely one of my favorite films.
