Quite a good ride, nevermind the misguided reviewers

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2013)

OK, I believe the movie deserves a solid 6.6 or 7 score.
The little screaming reviewers here saying movie is "too slow", "overrated", "silent" or "too violent" can go review cliché usual action or buy a bag of popcorn for summer sessions.
I think the movie does create a certain culture, certain feel and uniqueness. Ryan Gosling's performance was top notch as usual, (therefore high ratings too) movie just takes you for a good inner characters ride.
It is exactly that kind of a movie where the less dialog and words - the better.
Deserves a very good watch, it just might put you into a short term depression a bit.
