Blue Valentine Review - Good/Realistic but not Great

I watched the first hour and a half, and could barely understand the movie. It made sense in the plot was good, the acting was good, and the storyline was real, that is why it made no sense to me. Going through
the movie, it was made to look that Dean is the bad guy, but from what I watched is that he was a caring, good father who works hard and does all he can to help make his marriage work. Cindy on the other hand was an overemotional character, that is seen as the abused one throughout the movie, but to me it kept appearing that she was the one that caused the whole situation, and wasn't helping her husband make the situation
they were in workable. The starting was enjoyable and emotional at times, but I did not really connect to the story, and felt that these dysfunctional relationships happen, and they are heartbreaking to see, and the trauma that it causes on all members is horrifying.
