Starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine is a movie about a doomed marriage, and the events that slowly lead towards the inevitable.


2010 was an incredible year for movies. With such phenomenons as Toy Story 3, Inception and The King's Speech, it was hard to keep track of limited releases such as Blue Valentine. The movie starts with a couple in the middle of a very rocky marriage who are trying to do their best to keep it from falling apart. Through out the movie you see flashbacks of a happier time, when they met, when they fell in love for the first time, when they first kissed and when they got married. Each of these flashbacks are shown perfectly in contrast with their present situation which is anger, frustration and a whole lot of other issues.

It sounds generic I know, that's what I thought when I was about to watch it. But I firmly believe this is one of the, if not the best movie of 2010. Acted to perfection by Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, the later who got an oscar nod for her performance, coupled with a superb score and screenplay.

Blue Valentine is a testament to the fact that love eventually fades.

i give this movie 95/100
