"Blue Valentine" feels eerily real. A couple starts off in idyllic bliss and moves towards stark reality over the years. You feel for them both and Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams play their parts here to perfection. She the daughter who didn't get fatherly love and he the rough and tumble blue collar guy who can't believe his luck when he meets her.
Their story is chronicled here in all its rawness and is hardly a rom com and yet that is what draws us in like flies on a wall. You can tell something is off as the gloss starts to come off the apple and unhealed childhood trauma becomes what begins to unravel them.Recommended.
