Lost River 2014

     This film is a dark fairy tale about love, family and fighting for survival.  Lost River is a virtually abandoned city and Billy is a single mother of two boys.  She visits a macabre underworld to earn money save her childhood home and to try to hold her family together.  Her teenage son discovers a mystery about the origins of Lost River.  This event will trigger his curiosity and set into motion an unexpected journey.  He will find his limits tested and also the limits of those he loves.

     I thought this might have been filmed in Detroit because of the large number of rundown and vacant homes.  Some of them are being torn down as the movie progresses.  I got about half way through this film and it was just way too weird for me!!  Billy takes a job at an eccentric underground club and then the story gets even more weird!!  There are some violent sequences and there is strong language in nearly every scene.  When it started to turn even darker, I bailed!!  2* (I didn’t like this movie)

 
95 min, Drama directed and written by Ryan Gosling with Christina Hendricks, Iain De Caestecker, Saoirse Ronan, Matt Smith, Ben Mendelsohn, Eva Mendes, Reda Kateb, Barbara Steele, Landyn Stewart, Rob Zabrecky, Shannon Plumb, Torrey Wigfield, Misty Robinette, Holly Schlegel, Thomas McDonald.

Special Note:  Filmed in Detroit, Michigan.  The reviews in Cannes of this film were very vitriolic and hateful!!  There are a LOT of ideas and images but they don’t seem to connect together.
