Good ending doesn't always mean good movie

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2018)

Ryan Gosling is back! Fresh off of his great success last year with La La Land. Gosling came back with the same partnership in Damien Chazelle and delivered once again. Showing just how a great actor and director can produce many different kinds of movies if made correctly. Now was it perfect? Not at all, but it was one of the best performances, so far this year.
Showing a true story of a man that many knew at one time, but by now most have forgotten. Gosling embodied the weird, nerdy, and sometimes day-dreaming Armstrong with great success. He showed off on the screen infront of us. He can do it all. Serious. Sad. Passionate. Action.
Now this movie was more than just Gosling. It featured other heavy hitters in Claire Foy and Jason Clarke as well as Kyle Chandler. They helped to round out the acting performances into a stellar movie. The writing was able to navigate through a somewhat cluttered film, but had impactful moments and a strong finish. Which sometimes can make a film feel better than it was the rest of the time.
