This film starts off as a love story but eventually evolves into a murder mystery. It stars Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst as husband and wife, and the screen play, using newly discovered facts, is based on one of New York's most notorious missing persons cases. There is excellent acting here by Gosling, Dunst and Frank Lagella, who plays Gosling's domineering father. The story plods along at first, picks up steam about three quarters of the way through and ends with no real resolution to whatever happened to Dunst's character, but offers a strong suggestion as to what really happened.
Worth a rental if you like a well acted story based on a true crime.
