Blue Valentine is the story of love found and love lost told in past and present moments in time. Flooded with romantic memories of their courtship, Dean and Cindy use one night to try and save their failing marriage. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams star in this honest portrait of a relationship on the rocks. The film centers on a contemporary married couple, charting their evolution over a span of years by cross-cutting between time periods.
Derek Cianfrance has been developing "Blue Valentine" for nearly 12 years, and his film is not just a complex portrait of its two main characters, it's also profoundly honest as it examines intimacy from every angle. Emotionally and physically, the romantic story of Dean and Cindy flashes backward in beautifully edited matching shots that show us the first flourish of affection, and the final backlash of frustration. Cianfrance doesn't force his audience to choose sides.
The film was Official Selection for Cannes, Sundance and Toronto Film Festivals. They must be expecting some good business for this one with the coveted Boxing Day release in Australia slotted in.

Not a fan of Michelle Williams, but Ryan Gosling (Lars and the Real Girls, The Believer) has impressed on several occasions.
Hope the MPAA rethink their rating so it gets a wider release.
