Short description
Lost River takes place in a town that is slowly emptying out as the housing crisis drives its residents away. Billy, a single mother of two, is behind on her mortgage payments when a bank manager named Dave offers her a way to keep her home: work at his nightclub. As she is drawn further into that grim world, her teenage son Bones scavenges valuable copper wire from abandoned houses, which brings him into conflict with a brutal young man who sees himself as the ruler of the town.
The film is Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, and he also wrote the screenplay and produced it alongside Jeffrey Stott and Marc Platt. Christina Hendricks plays Billy, with Iain De Caestecker as Bones, Saoirse Ronan as Rat, Eva Mendes as Cat, Matt Smith as Bully and Ben Mendelsohn as Dave. It runs 95 minutes and was made for a budget of 2 million dollars.
On IMDb the film holds a rating of 5.7 from around 20,000 votes, and on TMDB it also sits at 5.7, from roughly 650 votes. A critics' rating of 4.6 from 74 reviews places it below both audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film’s initial original title, "How to Catch a Monster," was eventually changed to "Lost River."
- Scenes with Matt Smith were filmed during the actor's breaks from filming the series “Doctor Who” (2005). For his role in the film, the actor shaved his head, so he had to wear a wig in subsequent episodes of the series.
- The role of Belladonna was originally intended for Karen Black, but unfortunately she passed away from cancer. The role was ultimately played by Barbara Steele.
