Blue Valentine (Derek Cianfrance, 2010)
What if one forgets why love is there in the first place?
Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams) were once two young individuals caught in a whirlwind romance. Six years and one daughter later, Cindy grew into a woman with bigger opportunities, while Dean remained the same, maybe with a little less hair and a bigger beer belly.
Blue Valentine shows a cross-cut between time periods, as if looking for the moment where it all changed, or perhaps proving it didn't. Heart-achingly painful to watch, it will make you take a closer look on the dynamics of relationships and marriages.
