blue valentine is on my short list along with a bunch of others-- Wadjda, Rush, 12 years, the 5th estate and runner runner if I get to it.
e: oops I am confusing that with the film 'blue is the warmest color.'
just got back from this piece of work

don't know what to say except that it was long, relentless and fatiguing. i see the hardcore McCarthy fans going for this but I feel like I just got a root canal. the performances are mostly good, the writing is intelligent, production is way up there but I can't really recommend it on the basis that it's enjoyable.
if you thought 'no country for old men' was too lighthearted you'll probably enjoy this
