Our buddy and guest on the most recent AB Convo Extra: Wizard World Chicago episode, Jim Lewko sent in the following review of The Place Beyond the Pines:
No Spoilers
Dear Reader,
Please set aside several hours of your life that you don't mind ever
getting back.
"The Place Beyond The Pines" started off great, a climactic scene
happened towards what I thought was the end of the movie (should have
ended soon after). Instead the movie continues on as though the person
who wrote it was describing it on-the-fly without really having an
ending in mind (like you may do with a bedtime story).
By the end of this movie I and my wife felt as though we had sat thru
an entire season of some Drama show... and the payoff was bland.
If you do want to watch this movie, I suggest watching it in pieces
over several days.
Hope this helps!

I discussed this movie way back on Episode 56 of the podcast and I had a similar but more positive response to it. I'm interested to give it another watch sometime soon at home and see if I feel the same way.
