The TVI Take
Best Actress nominee (Michelle Williams). The beginning and end of a relationship told in alternating timelines.
High cognitive demands from the dual timeline structure that forces constant comparison. Minimal educational value but extraordinary psychological insight. Gosling and Williams create two people you understand completely and cannot save.
