neutral · AI labelView post →I always bring up the movie Blue Valentine. It rec’d a NC-17 rating, not for the nonconsensual “finishing” or the coercive sex scene but for the cunni scene she actually enjoys & has an O from. Consensual sexual pleasure onscreen is considered pornographic 😒🥴

negative · AI labelView post →On this day in movie history: Blue Valentine directed by Derek Cianfrance released December 29, 2010. Cast: Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams, Faith Wladyka, John Doman, Mike Vogel, Marshall Johnson, Jen Jones, Maryann Plunkett, James Benatti, Barbara Troy, Carey Westbrook, Ben Shenkman. #Drama
neutral · AI labelView post →#ALL50RTS Day 46/50 I Live With You, by Grizzly Bear (2009). Big big feels from the film Blue Valentine. Sadly I didn't get heavily into this band of musical geniuses until around the time they broke up. Now they're doing some US shows this year - I'd be there in a flash if I could!
neutral · AI labelView post →It was pitched as a fun rom-com (which it isn’t really) and the trailer said from the director of Blue Valentine and Beyond the Pines who are they marketing too?? It cost $19 million and made $35 which makes sense for this movie. Let’s not make it seem like this movie is the end of Hollywood.
neutral · AI labelView post →Blue Valentine. Part of me is still buried beneath the wreckage of that movie’s relationship collapse. A beautiful, completely miserable movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't think any movie captures falling in love and falling painfully out of love better than Blue Valentine (2010). Definitely in my top 10. Raw emotion exhibited is next level. I don't think any other movie captures it better.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight I suggested a film to my friend as a great explanation of my marriage and realized instead of what I Said, Blue Velvet, I meant Blue Valentine. Do I let it ride or WHAT.
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night I, a notorious movie name forgetter, somehow managed to correctly identify Blue Valentine from less than five minutes of muted footage. This is a dumb superpower
neutral · AI labelView post →Blue Valentine. Fantastic lead performances by Williams and Gosling. Well constructed movie too.

neutral · AI labelView post →[Blue Valentine](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/46705-blue-valentine) (2010) This beautifully raw film looks at a relationship in stages juxtapositional. It's euphoric, passionate, morose, and hopeful. It's the nature of love in real life and for most of us, will cut close to the heart. It's glorious. [That Thing You Do!](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/9591-that-thing-you-do) (1996) A classic tale of the 50-60s music industry done in the typical fun biopic style so much that I believed…

positive · AI labelView post →Yes! I love Blue Valentine, too, but The Place Beyond just has so many layers. It's a devastating movie. So glad you're a Dark City fan. I'm still punching myself for selling my Director's Cut DVD.
positive · AI labelView post →All valid points. Let me tell you, never watch Blue Valentine. That movie *fucked me up*.
negative · AI labelView post →Blue Valentine [81] is a Metacritic Must-See (free on Tubi/Roku): www.metacritic.com/movie/blue-v... #11pmspecial "It is brutal, compassionate, beautiful in its ugliness and one of the bravest films of the year." - Rex Reed, Observer
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching Blue Valentine. I don't think I gave this movie a fair chance the first time. #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →just watched Blue Valentine for the first time since it came out like 16 years ago, and except for maybe one iffy scene (dinner table scene to hastily make us know her dad was bad) it still holds up as a hell of a movie. and Michelle Williams is a treasure
positive · AI labelView post →I JUST FOUND THIS OUT but in the movie Blue Valentine, there’s a scene where Ryan’s character goes down on his wife, and because of that, the movie was rated R, and Ryan did not agree with that because “men get oral in movies and they don’t get R ratings, it feels like a double standards”
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe he doesn't know which movie he's in. I saw a dad and kiddo nope the fuck out of Blue Valentine once dad realized his mistake. 😬
neutral · AI labelView post →This looks like the Ryan Gosling Lending Library that I set up at work, after everyone discovered his genius in Crazy Stupid Love. I inadvertently traumatised so many people with mu favourite film of all time (Blue Valentine, obvs).
positive · AI labelView post →I saw Satisfaction at BFI Flare last night. A phenomenal piece of work. Beautifully shot. Powerhouse central performance from Emma Laird. A film that tackles a subject I can't mention without spoilers in a way I've never seen before. Blue Valentine x Aftersun x Chronology of Water x The Souvenir
neutral · AI labelView post →Nooooo, and tbf I was in the middle of a bad divorce and saw Blue Valentine in Times Square like I was in my own sad movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Not a movie per se, but my now-husband and I went on a string of dates to movies that were about A Marriage On The Rocks (I think one of them was Blue Valentine?). They were mostly good films, but their outlook on a newish relationship's future got pretty depressing after a while.
neutral · AI labelView post →Blue Valentine was very good, and I think it may well be the first film I've seen with an A from the Onion AV Club
positive · AI labelView post →The last emotionally exhausting movie I watched in recent memory was Blue Valentine. I took a long break from those types of films after that one.

neutral · AI labelView post →Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen NMIXX -- Blue Valentine. I really like the way the changes in tempo make this a cute song with a twist. Although I usually pay little attention to Kpop lyrics some clever touches in the lyrics caught my attention here: for example, the succession of "I'm falling over and over and over" by "You're getting colder and colder and colder" with a…

All seafood really, but, gun to my head? Octopus. Blue Valentine. I watched that movie 30 years ago, in my house. I'm good. That first, let me take a selfie song.

neutral · AI labelView post →Blue Valentine. Not a bad movie, per se, but it’s a helluva dark cloud over a first date
neutral · AI labelView post →Took a dat to see Blue Valentine because she "loves Ryan Gosling." That was NOT the film either of us were anticipating.

positive · AI labelView post →That “Blue Valentine” movie is sad.
negative · AI labelView post →What is one movie world you'd like to live in? "Blue Valentine" seems pretty fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →Of every interview I’ve watched about this movie, nothing has filled me with terror and dread like Leigh saying Blue Valentine and Amour were inspirations for the lead characters’ relationship in the film
neutral · AI labelView post →In 2011 every couple I knew went to see Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams in a cute romantic indie film with a cute font on the poster. I swear, the Blue Valentine breakup bubble is real.
neutral · AI labelView post →🧵Everyone involved in Blue Valentine DEMANDED a review of this. Ryan Gosling was especially vocal that women experiencing pleasure & exlicit consent were not pornogrpahic. Anyway, just a fascinating year of women & sex on film it you're into that kinda thing...
neutral · AI labelView post →We need another movie like Blue Valentine that makes every couple breakup after watching it.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m sure this is related, but I just saw this morning that Netflix & Derek Cianfrance (Place Beyond the Pines/Blue Valentine) are adapting this as a movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie is Blue Valentine, and also this is the scene that almost pushed them to NC-17 rating!
neutral · AI labelView post →Roofman (2025) is quite good, the story is apparently almost entirely true, Channing Tatum doing solid work as a lead backed by an incredibly stacked cast. Only at the end did I realize its a Derek Cianfrance film (Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond The Pines).
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, Blue Valentine. Without question. Brilliant film in every single aspect of the production, but omg did it hit home way too hard. If you havent seen it, watch it. Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling at their absolute best. So good it almost hits levels of uncomfortable to watch. But watch it.
positive · AI labelView post →Has any film with blue in the title *not* been a soul draining experience? (Blue Valentine, Blue is the Warmest Color, Blue Velvet, Blue Lagoon)
