Blue Valentine is the story of love found and love lost told in past and present moments in time. Flooded with romantic memories of their courtship, Dean and Cindy use one night to try and save their failing marriage. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams star in this honest portrait of a relationship on the rocks.This is another one of those artsy movies that critics praise for being so "real" and well acted so everyone flocks to see it based on the reviews and it ends up being artsy fartsy garbage. Real? It's a back and forth in the timeline of a couples' relationship where we pretty much get to watch them shoot the $hit as they get to know each other and then bicker as a married couple. Movies like these afe always only as good as the hook of the characters. I felt no hook for either of them at all and didn't care about where their relationship is going.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this one. It's nowhere near as good as the reviews make it out to be and I wasn't impressed with either of the "award worthy" performances.
