Romance – Emotional – Beautiful

An intimate and raw portrayal of a couple’s relationship, exploring both the passionate beginning and heartbreaking unraveling of their love.

Love watching this film, even if it’s heartbreaking to watch. Seeing a couple who start out with such beautiful promise, it’s difficult to watch what their relationship becomes.

It’s painful seeing the two in such different places. One who is desperately trying to hold onto who they were in the past and one who sees the relationship for what it now is and doesn’t see it as something worth fighting for.

The film and both Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams’ performances do an incredible job of having you see it from both sides, hopping between each of their points of view, but not having a strong feeling of one is more in the right than the other.

Such a stunning film which is a pleasure to watch, even if it’s not the happiest.

Would watch again
