Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Designed to daze and confuse, and succeeding, Ryan Gosling's directorial debut is a stunner in visual terms alone.
Ryan Gosling is a tremendously talented actor, but he should really leave the storytelling to someone else.
"Lost River" is indeed a mess, but it's the best mess possible, an evocative grab-bag of images and moods with a heartfelt sincerity and conflicting impulses of romantic melancholy and hardscrabble hopefulness.
At heart, "Lost River" is a midnight movie for those ready to find it and go with the flow.
