Movie Review – The Place Beyond the Pines

This movie is interesting because of its non-traditional structure. It interconnects the story of two flawed men, and examines how their actions affect their sons.

Ryan Gosling gives a sparse, electric performance. It’s so good, in fact, that I almost wish the story had stayed focused on Luke. But this story, like life, moves forward, and deliciously reveals the results of two fathers’ best intentions.

Both men have secrets and both suffer for them, setting up their sons’ lives and journeys.

Grade: B

About The Peetimes: The movie becomes progressively more involved with multiple characters so I would recommend using the first two peetimes.

The third peetime is adequate but the fourth is only for emergencies, as it splits time between multiple story lines.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of The Place Beyond the Pines. (What we mean by Anything Extra)

RunPee is one of my favourite apps. No more googling a film before you see it and risking spoilers, this app has everything you need to know, not just the best time to go to the toilet. Dan, the developer, also offers an amazing customer service experience. I recently switched phones, and Dan was very generous in sorting things out with me as I moved over to my current system. If you’re an avid film watcher, this is the app for you!

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂

Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
