Review: Blue Valentine

If your current relationship needs to end; if you know it but you cannot seem to find the courage to break it off, watch this movie for confirmation. Blue Valentine is one of those raw and messy movies that makes no false pretenses; it just is. Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling clearly have chemistry..and at times this chemistry is explosive. I love the sequencing in this film; you see the evolution of the relationship but not in a linear manner. These two characters bring out the best and the worst in each other. This is no Hollywood love story; this is a Main Street, every day kind of love that grows, changes and adjusts as we do. Sometimes it is passionate; sometimes it is silly; sometimes it is dangerous. Sounds a lot like, well, life.
