Episode 40: Lost River (2015)

2010s, General Episodes

In this episode of Fifth Opinion, we dive into Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut Lost River. We criticize some of the criticism the film has received (particularly from The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw), discuss how the film uses fantasy and defamiliarization to illuminate social issues, and talk about how Gosling handles his characters.
