Blue Valentine Audience Reviews

Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
torstensonjohn A romantic drama with profound performances and spectacular writing involved. The film depicts a married couple, Dean and Cynthia Pereira (Gosling and Williams), the transitional shifting of their romantic beginning and the dissolution of their marriage several years later. The film is told in a nonlinear narrative so we can see the subtext of the characters involved. The film did not actually entertain me as it did set a tone for realism in the tradition of real couples. It was moving, insightful, creatively directed and well written. The characters are dynamically portrayed by Gosling and Williams, which Williams was nominated for an Oscar, but Gosling was not. I enjoyed the tempo and plot and how well it flowed through the almost 2 hour time frame. Traditionally need more film with substance such as this. I give it a high 7 out of 10.
mariana_gibezzi You'll be all movie waiting for something to happen. The only thing that is well constructed in the story is the fact that Gosling isn't the child's father. Other than that, the rest is crap. Gosling's looks after only 5/6 years at most? The sunglasses all the time? At first it looks like had happened at least 15 years. Then we learn that they got married when she was already pregnant so...hat happened to his appearance! Come on. Too much change for a few year. Not believable, along with wearing the sunglasses inside and at night. We can only assume that they don't get along and are tired of each other, but the last final fight is out of nowhere. We are not explained what is going on and why the relationship is so damaged. We can only assume typical couples problems, and that's not reason enough for a film. It all looks forced at the end. Not a good movie. Don't waste your time.
Prismark10 Blue Valentine directed by Derek Cianfrance is a film about two people falling in love and then their relationship disintegrating a few years later.The film goes forward and back in time as we see Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams) meet and fall in love. She is a pre med student and he is a delivery man, a high school dropout. Cindy becomes pregnant from her ex boyfriend a wrestling student who later beats up Dean but he still goes on to marry Cindy.Several years after their marriage, Dean is wearing glasses, losing his hair, maybe drinks too much and works as a painter and decorator. Cindy works as a nurse, still attractive and they have a young daughter.The marriage has lost its spark although as far as I can tell Dean still loves Cindy. Maybe it is Cindy who is bored, wants more, she met her ex in a bar which might had got her mind whirring or maybe her past has returned to haunt her as her parents has a dysfunctional marriage.This is a very adult, uncompromising film even bleak. Yet in some ways so real, maybe this is how marriages fall apart in real life.I did feel the movie was flawed, rather slow and uninvolving. It could be as we do not see their relationship in the middle as to what triggered the downward spiral. Is Dean a drunk or a bore or did Cindy never really love him but Dean was there for her when she was thinking of having an abortion?
elise (bzjetblue) This reminds me of my own romantic experiences before. What is true love? When does he love you for real? When do I love him for real? Who loved me most? Who did I love most? So that is how guys look like when they fell in love. I seemed to have seen them before.It is heartbreaking when you feel that you might hurt someone like this and you might get burnt as well someday. I don't know if I believe in Karma but I've heard something like that. It comforted me for a while after one of my past breakups. I could not face the answer if Karma exists in relationships or not.I want to believe in love or any other most beautiful things in one's life. I want to live a happy life. I wish romantic relationships or even marriage could be one of the sources but the reality said it is not guaranteed.I don't want to act as a coward who cannot afford to love and dare not to love. I want to embrace it and I want to have some faith and feel the strength to fall in love.I want to be able to love the ones I love for a happy life.
