I effin loved this to death. One of the best films of 2010. Probably #2 or #3 for me. 5/5 easily. Such real, raw, and powerful performances by the leads.

Oh well, I'll just have to wait for it to come to that little indie theater (I hope). It takes quite a long time for them to get movies though.

I'm aware of the Blue Valentine thread on this forum, but it isn't a review thread, so I decided to make one (with a poll and info and stuff), and maybe the mods can merge both into one.

Watched it tonight... I'm not sure "really enjoyed it" is appropriate. I certainly recommend it but I feel like I was beaten with an emotional sledgehammer.

Lol, I know what you mean. Great film.

I felt it was a little biased though.

The scene with young Dean playing singing the song is one of my favorites in any movie ever.

I love Ryan's version of "You Always Hurt the Ones You Love." It sounds so much better with the ukulele. The lyrics are great as well. And their theme song, "You and Me," has been stuck in my head for quite a while now. Awesome obscure song.

I love this film so much. LIVE I REALLY EFFING LOVE THIS. I'm seeing Blue Valentine again tomorrow. I have to say I've never been so captivated by a film in such a long time.... MORE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS FILM!

Who else bought the soundtrack on iTunes?

I'm not going to lie, the scene where Ryan Gosling sings "You Always Hurt the One You Love" might be one of my favorite scenes in film of all-time.

Does anyone own or compared this Blu Ray from other countries? The original US release was on a BD-25 with very low bitrates, I see most other discs, like the UK are on a BD-50. Since the audio and aspect ratio is the same, just wanted to see if the bigger disc allowed for higher bitrates and improved quality? I still love this film, any help would be appreciated!
