I agree that Gosling did a great job, but I think he was the only likeable and intriguing element to the film.
The pace was pretty stagnant, the story was underdeveloped and the ending was…for lack of a better word…shitty.
The only moment I thought Michelle Williams’ character was even remotely interesting was when she told the joke on the bus. She was pretty stale.
Luckily, I saw Black Swan first and then snuck into Blue Valentine after so I didn’t have to pay for that garbage.

@Vunessuh “Luckily, I saw Black Swan first and then snuck into Blue Valentine” I did that once when I was 15 and could never bring myself to do it again lol
