fact Ryan had like only 116 lines in the script shows how just facial acting, movement, music and good directing can make it to where you don't need so many words spoken.

@Licensed To ILL sometimes there's ambiguity. You don't know exactly what he's thinking or feeling. And that's good.

There is more unspoken dialogue in this film than any other I've ever seen.
The glances, the faces that tell intricate stories. The pauses. The knowing smiles.
It's so beautifully poignant.
Absolutely love it.

That's each and every Ryan Gosling for you. He is so good he doesnt even need any dialogue to express himself!
