Movie Review: THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS

He reunites with Ryan Gosling to bring you another intense character study. Gosling plays Luke Glanton, a motorcycle stunt rider that turns to bank robbery in effort to provide for his son and ex-girlfriend Romina (Mendes), who is the mother of his child. Luke’s actions come to the attention of rookie cop Avery (Cooper) and the even more corrupt Detective Deluca (Liotta). The film premiered at the Toronto FilmRead More →
