Thanks for the kind words. My relative directed the movie. Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden had an entry at Sundance this year - it's titled "Sugar."
Follow Ups:
teacher in the ghetto genre and make it seem fresh.
He not only did, he made the film vital.
A brilliant direction and I'll certainly keep my eyes open for his other films.
Ryan is my nephew via marriage. He's such a great kid...I've known him since he was about nine years-old. He did this neat piece when he was at NYU about this really unusual real-life character...I have to find that disc!
I resisted seeing this film because of all the Ryan Gosling hype: he looked to me like another young, rather boyish looking actor whom I assumed would massively be disappointing, like Josh Hartnett.
Man, was I wrong. He's definitely a very talented young actor (I wouldn't gush, like Clark Johnsen) that he's the best ever on film (!)).
But obviously the director had a lot to do with allowing Ryan the freedom, the pauses, to let us see "into" the character. He also had the smarts not to allow his directorial style--for instance camera movement or music--to overwhelm the picture.
