As a person who appreciates a good Independent film and as a girl who loved the Notebook, I was super excited to see Blue Valentine On Demand the other night. The free preview made the film appear endearing and romantic, just like I remembered when I saw the Trailer in the theatre last year. So I purchased the movie immediately. I have to say as sweet as this movie looked in the preview, it ended up leaving a sour taste in my mouth. Graphic sex scenes and heated, verbally abusive arguments between the characters made me cringe. In no part of the trailer do you see Ryan Gosling's hot mess of character, completely trashed, sporting a receding hair line and wife beater. As much as I appreciated the realistic aspect of the movie and the reputable acting (that's to be expected from Gosling and Williams), I have to say it wasn't at all close to what I thought it would be!
