This naturalistic drama is ambitious to the point of being unwieldy... But once the story has advanced from one generation to the next and its thematic sweep has become apparent, these flaws seem much more tolerable. April 12, 2013 | Full Review…

While the contrasts between the main characters are all too obvious, each point of difference is skilfully rendered by director Derek Cianfrance, a rare filmmaking talent. May 8, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
