beautiful pain...

i just saw a great movie: Blue Valentine.


OH. MY. GOD.  it was so beautiful and heartbreaking... anyone who has ever had a great love crumble will NO DOUBT be able to relate to the desperation both Ryan Gosling & Michelle Williams's characters exhibit.  i wept my little eyes out experiencing the journey and utter catharsis that took place on screen.  the movie was lovely aesthetically, palpable emotionally.  i definitely recommend, but be prepared to walk out a little bleary eyed (or watch at home when it comes out on dvd if you're worried about crying in public).


wowwwwie!  i only wish more movies were as nuanced, barebones, and honest as this!
