Luckily, sanity has previaled, and BLUE VALENTINE is getting the R it deserves, without any cuts. Hopefully controversy won't overwhelm the film, as it's truly an astounding relationship drama in the vein of John Cassavetes.
Like in a Cassavetes film, much of the dialogue feels improvised, although this is more much polished visually, with director Derek Cianfrance giving the film a rich and dynamic look (appropriately shading a few of the scenes in cold, metallic blue). Visually, it's atually quite beautiful, reminding me of Christopher Doyle's work with Wong Kar Wai in films like HAPPY TOGETHER, or FALLEN ANGELS. Yet, while the look is stylized, the content is not. Emotionally, this feels real, which makes this a rather turbulent film to sit through.
Essentially, this is a two-hander, with Ryan Gosling & Michelle Williams playing the couple that falls in and out of love over the years. Both have interesting, three-dimensional roles. Gosling plays the more romantic of the two; an uneducated, somewhat naive labourer who falls madly in love with Williams at first sight. Williams' is the much more cynical half of the couple, with her playing a promiscuous med-student who probably should have never ended up with someone like Gosling in the first place. Sure enough- the movie makes it painfully clear that she's the one who falls out of love first.
The two have an interesting dynamic, with both having very juicy roles to sink their teeth into. They de-glamorize themselves in a big way, with Gosling allowing himself to age noticeably over the course of the film. As for Williams, she has a couple of very graphic, realistic sex scenes. She not only goes topless at times, but also goes full-frontal, which is a brave choice. My only problem with the performances is that, of the two, Gosling tends to over-indulge a bit in the actorly tics. At times, he comes off as a bit of a Marlon Brando/ James Dean wannabe with lots of mumbling, and some tough guy posing. However, it could be argued that these tics are appropriate to the character, and I suppose, if there's any actor of our generation that deserves comparison to those guys, it would be Gosling.
While BLUE VALENTINE is probably the emotional equivalent of a slasher film, it's definitely something that demands to be seen, as it features two incredible performances by two of the best actors of our generation. While it's probably not a great first date film (although one could argue it's a perfect last date film), it's something that I'm sure a lot of us will be able to relate to. It shows how time has a way of eating away at our relationships, and that love isn't always immune to its ravages. Six years ago, everyone we know (and their mothers) fell shamelessly in love with Ryan Gosling in The Notebook. Since then, we've all waited patiently for the Canadian stud to sweep us off our feet again (and again, and again). So we think it's only fair we tell you the truth: If you're hoping for a straight-shooting romance, Blue Valentine is definitely not for you.
