Blue Valentine- A Film With A Lot of Heart....



I am amazed to say the least. Perhaps not the best of the lines to start a review but truly Blue Valentine touched my heart. It's a touching story of a decaying relationship told in a very skill-full manner. It's raw, real and so beautiful.

The film start at the present day and looks into a couple of days in the life of Dean & Cindy when their married life takes serious beating. On the same time we also get to know how they had actually met on a parallel track told in flashbacks. The beauty of the screenplay is that the contrasting stories become perfectly coherent as one without holding the pace. The shaky camera work adds to the raw realistic approach needed for the narration. But the most fascinating are the lead actors. Ryan Gosling has come up a long way since The” read more

" "I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, 'cause we're resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl she's so great. But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option... 'Oh he's got a good job.' I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who's got a good job and is gonna stick around.""

"September 24, 2012 I don't know. Interesting and sad story, very true, but I not really felt it. I didn't know exactly what went wrong between Dean and Cindy."

"The thing that carries this film is definitely the acting! It's absolutely phenomenal, Ryan Gosling is fantastic but Michelle Williams... Wow, just wow! How has she not won an Oscar yet?!? I know she was nominated for this role, but there was no doubt Natalie Portman deserved it. I love the script, the story is incredibly real, the characters feel like acquaintances of our own when we watch it, it's wonderful! "
