For the few people that saw this film, it seems that people either love it or hate it, but that's the case with a lot of films these days. I thought the film was brilliant just because of how well thought out it was and it keeps you guessing till the end. Some movie goers aren't patient enough for a film like that.
A lot of the hits, at least in the states, lately are movies that don't require much thinking at all. They're just films that are entertainment and action alone.
Here's a brief explanation of the movie, if you don't want to know what happens, skip this paragraph. Henry Letham (Ryan Gosling) is driving a car with his girlfriend and family in it on some bridge (I forget which one it is) in the NYC area. An accident occurs and we see Henry between life and death while the other three people in the car have already died. The movie is then about what Henry is seeing as he's about to die. In the real world, Ewan Mcgregor's character Sam, and Lila (Naomi Watts) are helping him out until the paramedics can come and help. The movie we see is Henry's made up world containing Sam and Lila, where Sam is just helping a suicidal Henry and Lila is Sam's girlfriend. Other people he remembers seeing from the accident make short appearances in his made up world. Thus, the film is relatively confusing to some people, and I'm sure I haven't explained it as well as I could.
In the end, I say go rent this movie when it's avail
