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.
