Anyone else see this? It came out last year but I didn't find a thread for it.

As most of us probably know it was Ryan's oscar nominated role. Definitely deserved it too, he was great in it. Ryan & Shareeka also won best actor & actress at the Independent Spirit Awards.

I loved it. It's one of my favorite movies from last year. I didn't get to see it in theaters cause it didn't come to my town but I saw it on DVD a few weeks ago (via Netflix) and bought it the other day. The soundtrack is great as well.

I watched it and didn't really like it that much. I think I expected too much from it and was disappointed in the end. Still a good movie though.

'Tis a great, great film. It will crack my top ten sooner or later. Lots of good films from last year.

Ryan was my #2 Lead Actor last year, only beaten by Leo in The Departed. Shareeka was also one of my five Supporting Actresses. The film has a great soundtrack, as well.

i thought he was really good in the movie. definitely deserved the nominee. i thought the movie was really sad.

I just watched Half Nelson today on DVD, own it now. I thought it was a great movie. My brother came in and commented on Ryan Gosling's acting and claimed that it was sort of boring and that he acted better in The Notebook. I thought that was the most ridiculous thing ever. I liked seeing the relationship between Ryan & Shareeka develop and particularly enjoyed the scenes where Ryan had no lines. I love how he could express so much with just one glance. Anyways, the music was great also. I think i'll get the soundtrack too

I was expecting one of those "oh im so high on drugs" performances since it was so hyped. i was completely surprised because it mostly showed a "hung-over" effect from his drug binges a day later, which is quite unique. It was a good, slow-paced movie that really centered on Gosling's character and the kid. It was a very touching movie, and I liked it very much.

i just watched this movie on youtube last week. actually wanted to rent the DVD but my video rental store didnt have it. i think the effect would be heaps better if i watched it on dvd or at the cinema. overall, i liked the movie, though i think the storyline and characters could be more developed. did they mention how he started on drugs? or whether he had any other troubles that prevented him from kicking his drug addiction? anyways...i think ryan gosling is a great actor. very handsome too. haha

i thought ryan deserved an oscar for this role too, it was such a touching story and he has come a long way from his youth days in "remember the titans" such a talented actor
