S.W.’s Verdict
A three-hour visual essay on mortality and meaning that somehow justifies its own existence as a sequel to a film that didn't need one. Deakins' cinematography does most of the emotional lifting. Gosling's blank affect is either perfect casting or a limitation — the film works either way.
