Blue Valentine

This is a film about the disintegration of a marriage for no particular reason. It tells the story of Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams), of how they met and fell in love, got married and had a daughter. Then Cindy fell out of love and there was no turning back.

Dean is sincere and very much in love with Cindy, yet she is fed up with it all and can't go on. We don't really see what it is that turns Cindy against Dean. OK. he smokes and drinks a bit, but they don't seem to be the reasons. In fact we don't see the reasons.

Gosling and Williams are very good. The present Dean is hardly recognizable, with his little beard and moustache, as the young Dean.

The latter part of the film takes place in a bizarre and cheesy hotel where they've gone to have a good time, and they fetch up in strange futuristic suite with blue light (hence maybe the title of the film).

This is a good quality indie film that left me a little unsatisfied.
