The 2010 movie Ryan Gosling was devastated by, just because it was rated NC-17: “I was really discouraged”
Ryan Gosling said he was discouraged when *Blue Valentine*, the 2010 drama he made with Michelle Williams, was initially given an NC-17 rating. He argued that the classification could keep a film out of major cinemas and limit its advertising, making it harder for audiences to see.
The film received an R rating after an appeal, which allowed under-17s to attend with an accompanying adult. Williams earned an Oscar nomination and Gosling a Golden Globe nomination for their performances; the film went on to gross $16 million against a $1 million budget.
In short
- *Blue Valentine* was initially rated NC-17.
