Review
Two of the most talented actors of their generation, Ryan Gosling and
Michelle Williams, give impressive duelling performances as a young
struggling couple in this depressive dissection of a marriage which has
lost its spark. There's a lot of arguing, quite a few tears, and the
occasional tenderness. To put it short, a 2010 working class version of
Who's Afraid of Virginia
Woolf?. As directed by young Derek Cianfrance, the film
is a strenuous but also riveting experience, because it is told with
such conviction and urgency, and because Cianfrance boasts a remarkable
attention to realistic and recognizable details, even if the subject
matter is as old as the history of human relationships.
