Blue Valentine (2010)

Note to self: Just because a movie is critically acclaimed, boosted by ratings scandal, and starring some attractive and talented actors, does NOT mean it won't be soul-crushingly depressing and bleak. Blue Valentine traces the beginning and end of the relationship between Cindy (Michelle Williams) and Dean (Ryan Gosling). In high school Cindy dates a popular jerk and cares for her grandmother, planning to go to medical school. Dean, who never graduated high school, is a creative man of many talents working for a moving company. He pursues her after a chance meeting and they hit it off. An uncertain number of years later, we see them as a married couple with a young daughter. Cindy is an overworked nurse losing her patience for Dean's childlike behavior, and their tight-lipped interactions speak volumes about their fading love.
