'The Place Beyond The Pines' impeccably crafted

The sins of fathers are revisited upon the sons in Derek Cianfrance’s doom-laden triptych, which reunites the award-winning writer-director with his ‘Blue Valentine’ star, Ryan Gosling.

‘The Place Beyond The Pines’ is a slow-burning meditation on crime and punishment, which treats the morally flawed characters with sensitivity, never condemning them for their reckless and sometimes immoral actions.
