Our take

With a stellar cast composed of Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes and Bradley Cooper, this antihero story is an elliptical exploration of fatherhood and generations through time. The contrast between two opposite lifestyles (law & order vs crime) is portrayed in all its complexity. Exhilarating yet delicate.
