Director: Derek Cianfrance
What's there to say about Blue Valentine? Don't watch it with the person you love.
Gosling and Williams play a married couple on the verge of disintegration, while alternately portraying their meeting and eventual union. The film is generally low-key - the stakes are small, but they're also the biggest stakes that most of us will face.
One thing I like about this film is that it (mostly) doesn't happen in New York or Los Angeles, and it's not about two artists or two actors or an actor and an artist, or a writer and another writer. I wouldn't say it's about 'real people; either, but sometimes I think the film industry feels that New York and LA have a monopoly on relationships disintegrating into petty bickering and glowering hatreds.
