Blue Valentine (2010) by Derek Cianfrance - cranefly - 02-13-2015

Hoping to rekindle their marriage, a couple ships their daughter off to grandpa for a weekend while they spend a night in a honeymoon hotel (they choose the futuristic room).
I suppose this is well-made, well-intentioned and well-acted (with some nice spontaeous stuff), but there was way too much conflict of a non-physical type to suit me. A stressful exercise, which I just wasn't in the mood for. The director fought hard to get this movie made, even working for free, but I think he was deluded. I been deluded about my own work at times. It happens.

Sigh. Now I feel a need to purge this film from my mind with another from my stack of library DVDs. Or maybe I should just go straight to old reliable in my collection: Ichii the Killer.
