Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, "Lost River", is a bizarre treat that is definitely influenced by the likes of David Lynch, Derek Cianfrance and Nicholas Winding Refn. Bizarre Lynchian imagery, Refn's tone and Cianfrance-esque dialogue made "Lost River" a very beautiful movie. Now since all of the director's that seemed to have an affect on Gosling are ones that film fanatics would describe as an "acquired taste" I would not recommend this film to everyone. If you like movies such as "Place Beyond the Pines", "Mulholland Dr" and "Only God Forgives" definitely give it a watch.
