BLUE VALENTINE

Blue Valentine features an oral sex scene between Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, which is extremely graphic and also extremely vital to the film's realistic portrayal of a relationship. The production company fought to keep the scene in, and Ryan Gosling's thoughts on the matter were as follows: "There's plenty of oral sex scenes in a lot of movies, where it's a man receiving it from a woman—and they're R-rated. Ours is reversed and somehow it's perceived as pornographic.
