Blue Valentine

Teaser: A couple with an embattled past goes through tough times in a very complicated marriage.

Best Features: Knockout performances by both Gosling and Williams. The movie makes you feel, in ways that most romantic dramas do not. Has one of the greatest scenes in a love movie of all time.

Worst Features: Ending feels very abstract, while the movie spends its entire time dealing with real human emotions in a very literal and powerful way.

This movie is just powerful. I have not felt this much natural emotion from just watching a movie since Requiem for a Dream. It is very depressing, in the sense that things are bad for this couple, however, the scenes feel real and engaging. I do not remember how long this movie is, but it feels like 5 minutes because of how engrossing it is. It doesn't make the Top 5 just because of how deep the genre is.

My Ranking: Top 10 Entire Drama Genre
Rotten Tomatoes: 88%
