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!
