In 1979, Robert Benton directed Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep in a film about the disintegration of a marriage and the ramifications it had on their young kid.

Now Playing: Blue Valen-‘Pines’?

Bryan Kluger — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:00:37 +0000

Ryan Gosling reunites with his ‘Blue Valentine‘ director Derek Cianfrance for another powerful and character driven film. ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’ is an intense look at the effects of certain actions passed on from father to son over the course of 15 years. However, while this story packs a punch, it also changes direction...
