Review of Blue Valentine (2010) by Les E — 06 Aug 2012
One of the most emotional soul crushing films I have ever seen. Williams and Gosling have the power of a young Gena Rowlands and Dustin Hoffman in this. Derek Cianfrance has the vision and search for the truth that John Cassavetes had in his day.
Erotic but never sleazy its a celebration of young love and the collapse of it, within seconds by the end we are filled with joy seeing them married to emotional wrecks cause of their break up. The abortion clinic scene is one of the most intense and uncomfortable scenes I have watched so far in my life.
