I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Blue Valentine shows the reality of a relationship.Show as the two stages of the relationship, the start and the end.The start is more romantic and optimistic.The end is realistic and depressing.The whole movie and the point of this works well, even with some problems at the screenplay.The acting of the film is extraordinary and the music and the photography is brilliant.For those who love these type of films, Blue Valentine is a must see.

You'll be all movie waiting for something to happen. The only thing that is well constructed in the story is the fact that Gosling isn't the child's father. Other than that, the rest is crap. Gosling's looks after only 5/6 years at most? The sunglasses all the time? At first it looks like had happened at least 15 years. Then we learn that they got married when she was already pregnant so...hat happened to his appearance! Come on. Too much change for a few year. Not believable, along with wearing the sunglasses inside and at night. We can only assume that they don't get along and are tired of each other, but the last final fight is out of nowhere. We are not explained what is going on and why the relationship is so damaged. We can only assume typical couples problems, and that's not reason enough for a film. It all looks forced at the end. Not a good movie. Don't waste your time.

Blue Valentine The chemistry among the characters makes the viewers writhe on the seat as there never landed something so perfectly on terms of casting, performance, execution, writing and emotions, emotions that pours out of screen like rain. It is a simple yet practical love story that depicts the other side of the coin; something which one is unfamiliar too and has yet remained hollow on screen, screaming and summoning this very feature. The script doesn't walk on usual format and isn't restrained to a definite structure and instead flows on its self-created path that leaves the audience in the awe of it. Derek Cianfrance; the screenwriter and director, is in his A game where he might be "all in", but there never was projected such a tale that is not only thought-provoking but also ground breaking in its genre as it redefines it by its own rules and terms. The performance objective is scored majestically by the lead cast (Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams) as the major part of the feature relies upon their performance. It is rich on technical aspects like background score, sound department and editing that is perfect. Blue Valentine is a blue tale about blue characters which may sound familiar but this is a rare art piece that one has never encountered before; not at this scale, not at this range.

It is a raw realistic contemporary intense devastating romantic drama. It adeptly shows the mysteriousness of falling in love and getting separated. The movie dances between the past and present brilliantly portraying the two aspects. It shows how easily promises can be made against all odds and similarly how easily they can be broken despite trying so hard. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams have done a good job in portraying two lovers as two different personalities in two different situations and time period. Director does a good job in putting together a good story in a realistic environment. The cinematography has been kept deliberately simple and realistic due to to the tone and style of the movie. Music is average and does not add a lot to the movie. The movie is a realistic romantic drama and viewers who have gotten used to enjoying typical feel good happy ending movies will not like it. The movie works at different levels and makes you think after you've finished watching it. It builds up an atmosphere of confusion, helplessness, frustration and finally devastation very effectively and thus leaves you pondering after the movie. The movie is recommended for viewers who like watching realistic drama and would like to watch how the two aspects of the falling and breaking in love commences, propagates and culminates.
