Engrossing movie

This movie was well done. I thought I knew where it was going from the previews, but it went further with twists and turns. I am a new fan of Ryan Gosling's and he did not disappoint. Rest of the cast was stellar -- Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Jeffrey Wright, and I'm so glad to see Marisa Tomei in another role, she is becoming more interesting with age.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My dad rated this as the best version of Carmen he's ever seen, and he's in his 90's. 'nough said.
Elīna Garanča (Carmen) and Roberto Alagna (Don Jose), were exquisite. Garanča dominated the screen. Alagna's high notes were crisp and clear as bells. The last minute replacement for the bullfighter nailed Torreodor but was shaky later in the program. Micaela was too old for the part, and her dress made her look dowdy. The staging, the singing, the orchestra, the costumes (how did that dress stay up as Carmen was being flung around in the last act?)-- superb. This is an opera production for non-opera lovers. The four hours simply flew by. Renee Fleming is a delight interviewing key members of the production during intermission.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
