"These days models turn designer, footballers become managers - and actors direct. Why not? Lost River, Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, is why not," said David Sexton of This Is London.
"It's an oneiric hymn to destruction, an Armageddon anthem - a movie to see, if at all, under the influence," said Richard Corliss of TIME magazine.

"A gruesome fairy tale of evil banks and sunken dreams, Lost River is a fantastically awful misfire from actor turned writer/director Ryan Gosling," said Fiona Williams of sbs.com.au.
"The film is ultimately kind of juvenile and dumb, and there are more moments where you'll roll your eyes rather than inwardly applauding," wrote Oliver Lyttelton of The Playlist.
Warner Bros acquired the U.S rights to Lost River - then called How To Catch a Monster - at the Cannes Film Festival in 2013. The film was shot in Detroit.
Producers on the movie are Marc Platt, Gosling, Adam Siegel, Michael Litvak and David Lancaster.
