Blue Valentine

I read about this film in Nylon and on the Vice website, the trailer has been watched and re-watched approximately 5 times by myself and my Gosling-loving/ Williams-Hair-Lusting friends.
Didn't realise that it was out so soon! I will try my best to see this, along with Black Swan and Somewhere, both of which I am also desperate and a half to see, argh screw you London and your expensive cinemas, and screw you Levens (tiny north-west village) and your lack of cinemas!



Is it just me or do you fall in love with him even more when he starts singing?!





According to Vice: 
"One of the standout films at this year’s Sundance, London and Cannes Film Festivals, the critically-acclaimed BLUE VALENTINE is an intense, tender and beautifully observed love story for anyone that’s ever been in love. Driven by stand-out performances from Academy Award nominees Ryan Gosling (LARS AND THE REAL GIRL, HALF NELSON) and Michelle Williams (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, SYNECDOCHE NEW YORK, SHUTTER ISLAND), the film follows the path of a contemporary married couple with a young daughter as they contemplate the blissful early days of their relationship in contrast to their current marital challenges.  Flooded with romantic memories of their courtship when they were both full of youthful hope about their lives together, Dean and Cindy use one night to try and save their marriage. Brooklyn-based folk rock band Grizzly Bear provides a fitting soundtrack to this beautifully cool film - an honest, heartfelt and refreshingly real portrait of a relationship on the rocks."

  2. thanks for that comment! didn't realise you'd managed two posts in one day! i'm not such a productive blogger which is why i've probably been forgotten.
    Film looks good tho :) Ryan Gosling is also in 90210 isn't he? (shamefully confessing to watching american teen dramas at age 22!)
    V. Excited for Black Swan too!

  5. Gosling always has a place in my heart after the Notebook, what a lover boy. Hadn't seen the promo for Blue Valentine but now I can't wait to see it along with Black Swan & Nowhere! :) Lots of great movies to watch!
