Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes Daughters About Project Hail Mary Critiques

Ryan Gosling didn’t need a Hail Mary to get constructive feedback on his new movie. 

After all, he had plenty of help in his own home. The Notebook star revealed that his and Eva Mendes’ daughters Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, 9, had plenty of suggestions for his latest film Project Hail Mary. 

“My kids have seen multiple cuts,” Ryan said in an Feb. 26 interview with Access Hollywood. “They give me multiple notes. They’re basically the only critics I care about, and they are very critical and very honest.” For Ryan—who began his relationship with Eva in 2011—having his daughters’ opinion is “always better.”  What’s more? His girls inspired him to make the sci-fi/adventure film in the first place.

“I made this for them essentially,” he shared. “As a family, I’d like a movie like this that I’d like to see. I just feel really honored that I got to make one.”
