Reviews

Little White Lies

Gayle Sequeira

The film points out how tough it can be to escape from cycles of violence, how misguided attempts to speed ahead only set someone on the road to ruin, and how the compulsion to ride like the wind is inextricable from the fear that you’re getting nowhere.

An uneven, evocative drama that generated strong opinions a decade ago but then disappeared from the public consciousness is deserving of another look.

Despite Ryan Gosling's prominence on the poster and other associated promotional materials, this lo-fi twisting, turning drama actually features more of another Hollywood heart-throb – Bradley Cooper.

Cianfrance never allows his viewers to escape the heartbreak of his film, consuming us with a resounding feeling of sorrow over these characters and the way their lives set paths for one another.

The camerawork is fantastic and the performances are solid across the board.
