Blue Valentine


Cianfrance's flick traces the frustration, anger, and dissolution of the marriage of Dean (Gosling) and Cindy (Williams) while offering flashbacks to happier times. They are a 'normal' couple--young, romantic and optimistic at first but Dean lacks ambition and likes to drink and Cindy turns sulky over their limited life and has trust issues that crop up. The story may hit too close for some while others will find the duo merely tiresome. Viewers of the NC17-rated version should not get too hot and bothered--it's for one semi-consensual sex scene that's more emotionally violent than anything else.

Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams play a couple falling in and out of love. They provide a heart-wrenching portrait of both ends of that romance, but the movie's approach to showing the change (jumping around in time) can be jarring. Unlike "500 Days of Summer," it doesn't say when the scene takes place. Eventually the actors' emotional power overcomes this and the rhythm is accepted by the viewer.
