The dark fantasy film, penned and directed by Gosling, follows a single mom and her teenage son who discover a underwater town near Detroit. It [premiered to boos](http://time.com/106139/lost-river-ryan-gosling-cannes-movie-review/ "undefined") at the Cannes Film Festival in May; critics slammed the picture, including TIME’s Mary and Richard Corliss, who called it “pretentious horsesh-t.” But don’t despair, die-hard Gosling fans! The film, which stars Christina Hendricks and Eva Mendes, will be available to stream at home beginning in April, according to Collider. \[[_Collider_](http://collider.com/marc-platt-john-deluca-into-the-woods-interview/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3649457/ryan-gosling-lost-river/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3649457/ryan-gosling-lost-river/"},"headline":"Here's Why You Won't Be Able to Go See Ryan Gosling's New Movie in Theaters","datePublished":"2014-12-30T15:16:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:11:03.345Z","description":"The reason?
