This board is semi divided. One side of the board thinks the movie is amazing because of the imaginary drama and feeling of depth created because Gosling doesn't say a word for most of the film. The other side hates it for the same reason.

I enjoyed the movie probably for the feel of it more than the plot. Music was obviously awesome.

I had a really hard time understanding his character's motivation. So he was a getaway driver but he got pissed at the guy for asking him to do a job?

He had clearly been living his life one way for years and then at the drop of a hat threw everything away for his not-that-attractive neighbor with a kid who he didn't event want to bone?

Also, the conversations were rough. I get that they were trying to make Gosling out as the cool, quiet type but the way he stared at someone after every sentence was weird. No one would tolerate this behavior in the real world.

Aside from all this, I love Ryan Gosling and everything he's ever done and loved this movie.

That may be like the 15th reason that the movie is good. There are plenty of more reasons to like it than just "Silent and Brooding Ryan Gosling."

Can we all agree to disagree?
