Review of Blue Valentine (2010) by Pov — 02 Apr 2011
A story about the end being there from the begining. You search through the non-linear unfolding of the couple's life, for signs that they are not the one for each other, and the signs are there. And that's great. Because this film points out, pulling masks from many of us, that some people stay together because of need for attachment and fear of aloneness, and that not everyone decides to be together just because their neuroses can match and they'll make each other happy. Sensitive Michelle Williams, Tender and moving Ryan Gosling.
One of the films you'll want to watch twice to delve deeper in the psychological underpinnings that pinch you to ponder and ponder.
