Part of me wants to see this movie very badly, and part of me is all NOOOO I CAN'T HANDLE RELIVING THE TRAUMA of my own long-distance relationship breakup, even though it was all those years ago...

I saw it last weekend - it was great! I definitely recommend it. I've never seen a movie quite like it.

I didn't love this movie like I thought I would. I actually found it quite annoying even though I loved Blue Valentine.

I think the characters just irritated me, especially Anton's. Didn't see why all the girls were so into him, he was a drag.

Also didn't feel much chemistry between the leads but I think I'm in the minority there.
