REVIEW | Blue Valentine (2010)




Blue Valentine, a character-driven plot, has one of the most stunning performances of actors.


A Cannes and Sundance film selection, Blue Valentine is about the strained marital relationship of Cindy and Dean, played stunningly by Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling. The film skips between their present day marriage with a little daughter and flashbacks during the times of their courtship. Done with a realistic treatment so that everything in the film feels natural, it follows the two main characters and their dwindling relationship, and you will brace yourself if their initial whirlwind love and romance will be reignited and eventually save their marriage.

Heavily dramatic and heart-wrenching, Blue Valentine is a realistic drama, that once again reminds us what marriage is exactly all about. Both Michelle Williams (nominated for this year's Oscar Best Actress) and Ryan Gosling give unforgettable performance. 



3.5 out of 5 stars
