The Place Beyond The Pines

A dark movie. No, I mean a really dark movie, one of the darkest movies I’ve ever seen--like you're watching this thing in a cave. That dark. It's definitely grand in scope, in some ways almost Shakespearean, especially in its sense of tragic inevitability. Moody, heavy on atmosphere, and featuring a truly excellent performance by Bradley Cooper, this is ultimately, an admirable work--you just need to steel yourself for the grimness.
