BLUE VALENTINE

5/16/2011

 
Watched BLUE VALENTINE (2010) last night and enjoyed the interaction between Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling as a struggling married couple with flashbacks to their courting days.  The movie is sad and sweet and came across as very real.  I found I was very interested in the characters and their outcome as well as their getting together.  Derek Cianfrance, who wrote and directed, tells a good story of romance and then the slow decline of a relationship that doesn't want to break apart, but ultimately does.  The final few minutes culminate with now and then sequences that are very powerful.  No flash, but great story telling.
