Ryan Gosling Has Never Been Darker Than When He Played a Real-Life Murderer

In preparation for writing this article, I kept thinking how much of a shame it was that Ryan Gosling's All Good Things came out in 2010, several years before the sensational HBO documentary The Jinx. The gripping docuseries — also directed by All Good Things's Andrew Jarecki — about convicted serial murderer Robert Durst is an absolute jaw-dropper, especially with its twist ending. It could have been a great piece of research for Gosling to get deeper into the mind of the mercurial killer. However, even without it, Gosling turned in an unsettling and phenomenal performance as the real-life murderer in All Good Things.
