Movie: The Place Beyond the Pines

This is the best movie we've seen so far this year. The director, who also did Blue Valentine, crafts an emotional, intense movie about family, fate, and mistakes. It's not a crime thriller, as some might believe, but it's engrossing. There are a few things that didn't work (one teenage character's actions didn't feel like something he would spiral into so quickly), and the movie lacks a point to tie everything together. But we really enjoyed it and there was good acting.

Movie grade: A
