Drive.

To me, this movie was perfect for what it is. I wanted to write a review being overly sarcastic and saying how bad it was but I can't even do that. Plus I'm lazy. For example, Ryan Gosling is not a stud muffin. Bryan Cranston sucks and no one likes Breaking Bad. Carey Mulligan wore too many clothes that didn't help the mood of the film. It didn't turn into a horror flick for a segment of the movie. There wasn't an Oldboy hammer fight scene. The soundtrack sounded like M83 pooping out a Daft Punk record. No one likes pink type. There was too much dancing and singing and not enough exploding heads. Too many zooms not enough one take wide angle shots. Too much dialogue Now check these stills!

Head-On Review

At its core, Gegen die Wand, better known as Head-On to American audiences, is simply a love story. Even though the boy may be a 40 year old depressed drunk and the girl a suicidal, philandering woman, Faith Akin’s take on this conventional narrative of “boy meets girl” still remains simple. It is this simplicity that makes Head-On such a strong film.
