Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Ryan Gosling

52/100
👎 Skip It
An unauthorized celebrity biography by a competent pop-culture journalist, but there is nothing here that distinguishes it from dozens of similar cash-in career retrospectives. No subject cooperation means no new material, and by the time you read it, his filmography has moved on. Fans are better served by longform profiles or a good documentary.
