A wonderful film – based on a great book that I have already written about here. Sure, probably more than half of the things that made the book so special were left out, but the fact that the movie still works so well speaks volumes for the story.

I honestly didn't think Ryan Gosling could play such a convincing nerd, but... chapeau. Maybe I'll start wearing my glasses like him now – on "standby," just dangling loosely from one ear. Another positive note: the film naturally uses a lot of CGI, but also many practical effects, especially in one specific area that I won't go into because of spoilers. Oh, and avoid the trailer! Just go to the cinema!

After you have seen the movie, you'll understand why the movie is so 👎 ... in a good way!

This movie was a rollercoaster ride. On the surface, it's the story of Marty Mouser, an ascending, narcissistic table tennis player in the 50s. And then it has several different layers of storytelling. It's fast, loud, and close. And it's a stylish movie with a great soundtrack, worth every Oscar it might get.

This video will change your life.. or at least how you will see these two movies.
