I read the book awhile back, and had trouble imagining how a movie based on the book would be possible. I've just returned from the theater with my questions answered.
The story is quite brilliant, and the film makers managed to honor it with serious devotion to detail. It is human and humane, shocking and powerful. Frankly, it moved me deeply.
I urge everyone to take the time to see this film. If you haven't read the book, feel free to wait.
Honestly. I'm blown away. Ryan Gosling is great.

(13,674 posts)Loved it! Lots of details from the book were left out of the movie. None of them really mattered for the telling of the story.
The theatre was packed, which I haven't seen since pre-pandemic. Lots of folks are interested in this movie.

Agree - it's a really great movie! I think we collectively need something like this right now.
