NOW SEE THIS: Clips from the locally-shot Blue Valentine

A couple clips from Derek Cianfrance's Blue Valentine have hit the web. Cianfrance's debut began in Valley Forge and Wayne, where the film was partially shot, then garnered buzz at Sundance and made it's way to Cannes. Valentine follows Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams) as they divorce, with parts of their relationship appearing in flashback. A handful of clips have made their way online, including this one:

I like the naturalistic elements of this scene, I'm just worried it might get a little twee by the end, but this movie is supposedly a downer (in the best sense of the word) so it can't be too syrupy. Blue Valentine has more than a couple people whispering the magic word (Oscar) and it might have a shot, with the Weinstein Co. releasing this film on December 31, just in time for awards qualification. But I think it might still be too small for the Academy to handle. What do you think? View the rest of the clips over at the Playlist.
