Theme of the Month: Creative Flow in Blue Valentine

Blue Valentine is a very moving film and perhaps not one to take your lover to, particularly when in a fresh, whirlwind phase of the relationship. It just might dampen the spirits and cut your dream phase a little short. Ryan Gosling is brilliant as a blue collar working class boy who just wants the very simple things in life. And Michelle Williams holds a steady gaze that says " why didn't I marry someone else?" the whole way through the film. The music is Grizzly Bear which actually suits the jumpy style of the film, as it goes from past to present and relives the very painful moments of both the good and the bad of a relationship.
