Title: Excellent drama from two of our best young actors
Product review: This film is essential an acting vehicle for the two leads, Michelle Williams and Ryan Gostling as Cindy and Dean respectively. They are in one hell of a train wreck marriage. The movie takes the now familiar path of using flashbacks throughout the movie to give us a sense of how the characters got to where they are now. It's very effective and for once, easy to follow. Both actors give Oscar-worthy performances in this believable story of love and its destruction. The director uses a minimalist approach both in sets and acting ensemble. The movie is difficult to watch; we see they still love each other, but are certainly no longer "in" love. For another film with a similar theme check out "Two for the Road" (1967). As far as the notorious sex scene...paalease! If that's of interest, just turn on the TV, you'll see more.
