Raw and painful love drama that proves love and relationships are tough and complex.
22 May 2011
Seen plenty of love movies and romantic dramas and all of them show that love and life is hard and complex full of anger and sometimes sorrow. And this film "Blue Valentine" told in mostly a flashback form captures those themes just fine. It's on top with the fine and heart and soul performances from the two leads Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling.

All thru the film it's blended with past moments of love then it looks at the present state of the relationship that shows the whole picture of one Dean(Gosling) and Cindy(Williams). This is one married couple who have had their ups and downs as time, life, and work has grown them apart. Stuck in between them is one little beautiful daughter. This marriage is intense with passion and love and it's blended too with true complex doubts and strong heartfelt decisions of pain and loss.

"Blue Valentine" is one film that blends the good times and bad times of love and relationship together. It proves even though love is powerful it hurts and relationships are complex, in the end sometimes it's just best to let go.
