Holy bologna kittens!

In an interesting turn of events, the much anticiapted and critically acclaimed (thus far) film ‘Blue Valentine’ was just slapped with an NC-17 rating by the Motion Picture Association of America.

‘Valentine,’ which stars my boyfriend Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, tells the tale of a young coupld who fall in and then out of love. Both Gosling and Williams have been creating huge Oscar buzz since the film premiered at Sundance in January, but the decision to give this film the most critical rating possible is leaving many who’ve seen the film in wonder.

Via Deadline:

“I saw Blue Valentine when it premiered in Park City. It is a powerful, worthy film, and the NC-17 is an absolute head-scratcher. I’m told the rating was given for a scene in which the characters played by Gosling and Williams try to save their crumbling marriage by spending a night away in a hotel. They get drunk and their problems intensify when he wants to have sex and she doesn’t, but will to get him off her back. That hurts his pride and the result is an upsetting scene that makes you squirm, but is an honest one that establishes clearly that this couple has nothing left and isn’t going to make it because love has turned into contempt. There is barely any nudity in the scene, as I recall (though I haven’t seen it since last January) and there is no violence. It was hardly a moment that would make you think, well here comes an NC-17.”

The Weinstein Company acquired the rights to ‘Valentine’ after it debued at Sundance. It’s no secret that Harvey Weinstein is known for using the MPAA rating system to generate buzz for a movie.

However, with Oscar buzz already surrounding this film, it’s hard to believe that anyone was behind such a move.
