The questions that aroused for me are in spoiler territory...
I forget how to put spoiler tags on sh*t so just highlight
Was the cop really God? Was the murdered brother ****ing the mom? Why did Gosling want to be near his mothers uterus? What was his childhood like?
These aren't huge questions, but just holey-y narrative. Also I'd call the violence even with Drive. The ice pick scene made me squirm more than anything in Drive. Drive was more shocking though. It was quicker.

I know what you mean about the 'love or hate' thing but I disagree. I think film buffs will quibble forever about it, and that the neutral territory will win out.
I also believe that non-film buffs will deem it a "mediocre Gosling film" but, admittedly, I'm not great at predicting the future. And I feel that the ice pick scenes are only remarkable because of the talent of the actor who got the picks.
RE your spoiler points..
