What is Blue Valentine about?

Dean and Cindy live a quiet life in a modest neighborhood. They appear to have the world at their feet at the outset of the relationship. However, his lack of ambition and her retreat into self-absorption cause potentially irreversible cracks in their marriage.

Blue Valentine is a 2010 American romantic drama film directed by Derek Cianfrance and co-written by Cianfrance, Joey Curtis, and Cami Delavigne. Starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, the film follows the dysfunctional relationship between Dean (Gosling) and Cindy (Williams) as they struggle to raise their daughter, juxtaposing the beginnings of their romance with the eventual decline of their marriage several years later.
