Saw this at Liverpool Picturehouse this morning, film started approx 15 minutes late following quite a few trailers. I absolutely loved this film!

Wasn't too keen on the violence, too brutal for me, I looked away from the screen several times, but I guess it was necessary to set the plot.
From a slow paced start you could feel the tension rising. There was maybe 50-60 people at today's screening, all totally engrossed in the film. No noise, no chatting or rustling of sweet wrappers, no texting on mobiles... it was eerie.

Ryan Gosling played such a great part in this, he didn't need words to convey his actions. Carey Mulligan's part was too understated I thought, for someone who went through so much, she didn't show many emotions. Overall, an great action film. Can't wait to see it again.

The director was on BBC news this morning, and when asked about how he dealt with the violence, and how he filmed it, he said, " filming violence is a bit like f**king"
He was quite taken aback at the fact that was a naughty word on a news program :giggle:

I was going to and really wanted on of the t-shirts, but besides the fact I saw it yesterday, I have another screening to attend. I'd definitely see it again if I was free, though. Such an incredible film.

I think he's going to Real Steel.
Btw, David's review is suspicious by its absence.

Saw this at the Ritzy yesterday - was amazing.

Apparently, Ran Gosling only says 20 lines throughout the movie, but he was amazing! Definitely recommend it, though the violence was a bit brutal for a Sunday morning - it was brilliantly done, with an excellent soundtrack and stylish shots.
