Another one of those gripping, thought-expanding pieces of American cinema that’s undoubtedly one of the best in recent times, A Place Beyond the Pines comes under our must-watch list.

An exploration of masculinity, redemption, fate, circumstance and the nebulous areas of good and evil that exist within all of us, this raw and emotional tale spans a time frame of 17 years and chronicles the struggles that two families face due to one fateful incident. What we really love though, is the brilliant, thoughtful acting displayed by all the characters. The meticulousness of each person’s look, shifting filmic styles and grandeur of narrative are also highly admirable takeaways that beg to carefully savoured..

Attempting to rise beyond the mundanity of their casual existences, watch how some falter, some drop out and some succeed- but only on part. A highly realistic portrayal of the forces at play in the world we inhabit, this is one film everyone should see..
