Review of The Place Beyond the Pines (2013) by Grantd243 — 02 Oct 2018

I like almost everything about The Place Beyond the Pines: the three intertwining stories, the multiple perspectives, the writing, the characters, and how it all ends. It's a great movie to watch if you have the time (it runs a bit long at two-hours and twenty-minutes), but the problem with a film having a three part story that focuses on three different characters is the time limit of a film.

This one runs longer than most films, and I still feel like I didn't get to spend enough time with each of the characters. I liked everything about it, but I didn't feel that connection at the end that I felt like I should have, and I think that's a pretty big flaw in an otherwise great film.
