    TLoU1: NieR did this plot way better like 3 years earlier in a manner that can't really be replicated in any medium but video games (Neil Druckmann shits in fear). TLoU2: The Place Beyond the Pines did this plot way better the year the first game came out, and it was an actual movie.

    if we have ever talked, you know how much THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES and Derek Cianfrance's sad dads mean to me. I spoke with him about that film, ROOFMAN, and why the American dad as an outlaw created by capitalism looks so large in his work. a joy. @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/roof...

    The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) It's a #drama. If you like this #movie, I recommend Out of the Furnace (2013). Both #movies are about a man's mental state breaking down and going to the edge after their world turns upside down. Both leave you thinking and feeling something deeply intimate.

    My Rose Byrne algorithm brought me to watching The Place Beyond The Pines last night. I had never heard of this film, which is surprising since it stars Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. It was very long (2.5 hours) and kind of slow, but I did like it. 4⭐️ #filmsky #movies

    Watching The Place Beyond the Pines for the first time in my perpetually late life. The moment in the movie when Ryan Gosling stops being the lead and Bradley Cooper starts being the lead is not what I thought I signed up for. (Mahershala Ali is a great surprise though)

    #NowWatching The Place Beyond the Pines (D/S:Derek Cianfrance, 2012) "In the quietly decaying tragic-Americana setting of this fine film, the story is one of far-reaching repercussions, and how the loss of the father's virtue lands upon the son."

    Watched 'Roofman' at the cinema. As a big fan of 'The Place Beyond the Pines', I will say this is a much weaker/slighter work for Derek Cianfrance. But it's still a good watch, with two strong lead performances and plenty of entertaining moments. Weird tone, though! letterboxd.com/1thestickman...

    The Place Beyond the Pines doesn't tell one story, it tells three, each haunted by the last. A film about fathers & sons, choices and consequence, where the sins of one generation bleed into the next like a slow wound. Gosling barely speaks. He doesn't need to. Very underrated #filmsky

    The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) #filmreview Eh. Good performances and cast. DeHaan in particular does great. But the plot is contrived and heavy handed. Melodramatic crime drama that stretches belief in too many ways. It's an interesting and ambitious film but falls short of being cohesive. 5/10
