  Certainly my favourite Gosling film. It’s one of those movies with a lot of ambiance; if you watch it, don’t doomscroll at the same time.

  The elevator scene is so beautiful.

    It’s sad that you actually felt the need to tell people this in a movies community. What a time we live in.

      Not everyone is a cinephile, and some people like watching movies in the background.

      I can’t stand this attitude personally, and when I sit down to watch a movie with someone, I get annoyed when they don’t pause for getting a drink, or do something on their phones.

      If it was a movie like Deadpool, I can tolerate it, people can listen to the jokes, but put their phones down during action.

      Then there are movies which would be a downright mistake to become distracted. This is one of those movies IMO.

        I don’t tolerate it at all, to be honest. I think it’s a complete joke how acceptable blatant phone addiction has become in society; a third of my sessions at the cinema have people using phones during the film now. There is no such thing as “watching in the background” - you’re either watching it or you’re not watching it. You can put a film on in the background but don’t tell me you watched it, because you didn’t. It’s such a widespread problem now that there has even been debate about whether some modern writers are instructed to dumb down their dialogue so that people who refuse to look up from their dopanime injector can follow the basic plot.
