Our take

Ryan Gosling gives an incendiary breakthrough performance as the highly articulate Jewish neo-Nazi Danny Balint. Based on a complex true story, Henry Bean’s ferocious, extremely controversial drama won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, and stars Theresa Russell, Billy Zane, and Summer Phoenix.
