The United States of Leland

Summary: SOOOO GOOOD
Review: this movie was flat out amazing. i have recently been on a hunt for better movies than the common droll that gets so much attention in theatres and so on. some of them are just forgotten big films that i never got around to seeing, and some indie films such as this one. I've come across a few actors who are consistently picking good movies, such as Johnny Depp, Jena Malone(who is in this movie) and a few others

My friend introduced me to this movie, and once i saw that Jena Malone and also the very talented Ryan Gosling were in it, i immediately agreed to watch it. i was blown away the whole movie. the script, though at times overdramatic, revealed things and feelings that i have experienced, which is something a good movie should be able to do. Maybe it was the caliber of the acting all around. Maybe it was the dialogue. Or maybe it was the introspective and truthful quality of the narration by Gosling's misguided yet wise character.

Any of those reasons could be the reason i loved it so much, but either way it is a movie very much close to my heart. Some on here like to say that it is boring and drawn out or that they dont understand what you are supposed to get out of it. All i can say to these people is that they obviously have never felt that sadness from other people and suffered from it as Gosling does. All i can say is that they obviously do not know true cinema when they see it.

Summary: good but confusing
Review: with there being so much talking in this movie, your attention can get easaly distracted.... I don't even understand what the ending of the movie was... Jena Malone was great, but her charecter isn't in it much - and I kinda rented the movie just to see her.
