The Worst Film Ever

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A romantic drama with profound performances and spectacular writing involved. The film depicts a married couple, Dean and Cynthia Pereira (Gosling and Williams), the transitional shifting of their romantic beginning and the dissolution of their marriage several years later. The film is told in a nonlinear narrative so we can see the subtext of the characters involved. The film did not actually entertain me as it did set a tone for realism in the tradition of real couples. It was moving, insightful, creatively directed and well written. The characters are dynamically portrayed by Gosling and Williams, which Williams was nominated for an Oscar, but Gosling was not. I enjoyed the tempo and plot and how well it flowed through the almost 2 hour time frame. Traditionally need more film with substance such as this. I give it a high 7 out of 10.

THE MOST HEARTBREAK I have ever felt while watching a movie, and I wasn't even in a relationship when i watched it... 8 years hence and my eyes still tear up just listening to that short song Gosling sings to her.. more than the falling in love part (also showed in a very real way), what takes the cake so to say is how the struggles between the couple and their ego, desperation, or simply the years taking their toll on them has been shown in the most raw uncensored way... the best grown up romantic movie ever. Doesn't matter if you're watching the happy or sad part of the movie, keep them tissues ready. A Must Watch!!

This reminds me of my own romantic experiences before. What is true love? When does he love you for real? When do I love him for real? Who loved me most? Who did I love most? So that is how guys look like when they fell in love. I seemed to have seen them before.It is heartbreaking when you feel that you might hurt someone like this and you might get burnt as well someday. I don't know if I believe in Karma but I've heard something like that. It comforted me for a while after one of my past breakups. I could not face the answer if Karma exists in relationships or not.I want to believe in love or any other most beautiful things in one's life. I want to live a happy life. I wish romantic relationships or even marriage could be one of the sources but the reality said it is not guaranteed.I don't want to act as a coward who cannot afford to love and dare not to love. I want to embrace it and I want to have some faith and feel the strength to fall in love.I want to be able to love the ones I love for a happy life.

A person can only take so much. You can only watch what you have often seen in real life (and wanted to look away) if you have lived long enough, know enough people, and don't live protected from the dramas so common to people who struggle. A difficult scene for me was watching Michelle Williams' character as she did housework. In the background, Ryan Gosling's character rests with his feet up. You know what? He deserves that. He works at a physically tough job. Does she? Well, yes, in a way - but nursing is a profession that has its own type of physical demands. However, not necessarily lifting heavy objects all day and perhaps climbing stairs with them on your back. You want her to put her feet up, too. You also want the married couple they portray to have an au pair. You want someone else to make dinner and do the dishes. When someone says, "I'm tired" in this movie, I wanted to shout, "Yeah, well, I'm tired just watching you get tired!"Marriage when you're somewhat poor (economically disadvantaged, let's say) doesn't have to be like this. In another lifetime, give me a Ryan Gosling to be part of my struggling marriage and I think I could give it a shot. The man has serious sex appeal going on. There aren't too many people who come out looking good in this movie. Even the doctor who is Michelle's employer seems sleazy when you truly understand what he proposes. In no way does he seem honorable. Wanted: a 'feel-good movie' about being poor. This ain't it. But it is nonetheless wonderful for a one-time viewing. These people are fine actors.
