Two intertwining narratives detail the birth and death of a marriage, in Cianfrance’s achingly sad relationship drama. Gosling and Williams excel as the warring/courting couple, with Cianfrance’s unfussy direction and Parekh’s eye-catching photography also proving noteworthy. The fractured narrative, designed for maximum emotional impact, also adds greatly to the overall effect. Tremendously moving.
