Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

sooftennegative I seem to recall joining IMDB ~2 years ago specifically to review this film. I never got around to it and this bit of a review will be only be a collection of thoughts and impressions that are left from that couple of hours a long while backI will state upfront that I identify with Lou (Seth Rogan) for reasons I will not get into and some of my opinions may be from an unavoidably screwed up POV. Still married for 37 years though.#1) In the early scene (which may have been the opening scene) where Margot (Michelle Williams) is looking into the oven in the position others have noted is the proverbial "sticking her head in the oven wanting to kill herself"position, a male walks in. The scene is a little blurry from sunlight coming through the window and he has his back to the camera. The scene is repeated near the end of the movie. It is not the same scene though. In the early scene he is wearing shorts. In the later scene he is wearing long pants. I believe we were supposed to assume the character was Lou in that early scene and understand Margot was dying to get out of the marriage to Lou. The truth seems to be that the whole rest of the movie was a flashback and that guy was Daniel (Luke Kirby) in both scenes. Margot was dying to get away from Daniel by that time. By backing up to both scenes I did decide neither kitchen was the one Lou is so often using in testing his chicken recipes. They were both Daniel's kitchen.#2) In the first roller coaster scene as she and Daniel are riding, there are exciting noises of people laughing and children screaming in fear. However when the ride is over and the camera pulls back, it is apparent they are nearly alone in a rather dark building (or tent) with no crowd at all. The excitement was in her head. In the later roller coaster scene, she is alone and manages to smile at some point and become happy again just being alone. I will not try to interpret beyond that.#3) In the swimming pool shower scene Margot and a group of young women are talking about starting something "new." A woman from a group of older ladies across the room speaks up quickly and announces that "What's new gets old." I think this may be the major moral of this story. Margot picked "new" boyfriend Daniel over "old" husband Lou, but that got old too.#4) In the scene where Margot is trash talking to Daniel about Lou as she and Daniel stroll down a sidewalk. She is complaining something about Lou filling the trash with rotten chicken, etc. That is probably a major scene for anyone who has ever been the "Lou" in a marriage and a barely noticeable scene for anyone who has not.#5) I realize the movie was mostly about Margot, but Lou could have used a little more screen time. He took it all just a little too well IMHO and Margot surely could have had another of her rather well performed "face of regret" scenes while seeing his pain.That's all. Well it was two years ago!

Ewilder Many people do not appreciate dramas like these that portray people as they are, raw, imperfect and perpetually seeking out what's behind door number two. "Life has a gap in it. You don't go crazy trying to fill it." In the case of Take this Waltz, you do. Margot (Michelle Williams) shows us what the possibilities are when the grass isn't greener on the other side, love doesn't fulfill, and what opening the other door can do to your life when the reward isn't greater. Seth Rogan does an exceptional job of not being Seth Rogan. He truly stepped outside of himself for this role and showed more depth as an actor. I genuinely appreciated the film and my only criticism would be Michelle William's unsightly, high school, emo comb over part. The awkwardness between Seth Rogan and Michelle William's character is hysterical and insufferable which makes the film even greater. I love that it is directed and written by Sarah Polley. I can't wait to see what she does next.

kz917-1 Wow. Good actors, Michelle Williams, Seth Rogan, Luke Kirby, and Sarah Silverman. Interesting subject matter, falling in love outside your marriage with your neighbor across the street. Totally bad movie. Sarah Polley, an actor in her previous life (Avonlea on the Disney Channel) wrote and directed the film. The trailer made it look interesting, the film goes to outer space and beyond. Weird.

nicolenicole-74901 I'm giving this movie a 6 because although I found it good and I appreciated the concept, the movie lacked in a few areas.I wish this movie would have touched more on Margot and Lou's marriage. Yes I understand they hit a tough spot in their relationship, but that wasn't really elaborated on. The only interaction we saw between Margot and Lou was how they playfully annoyed each other, but we never really got to see who they were as a couple.I enjoyed the scenes between Margot and Daniel, it really captured the lust between the two. Although it didn't really show them falling in love, it did show how instant attractions happen. I also enjoyed the scenes of once she got with Daniel, they had multiple threesomes. To me this was showing the 'excitement' that came with getting with Daniel and the lust that was surrounding that relationship. Once the lust faded, she was right back in the same spot as she once was with her ex husband Lou right before she left him.The film was good, I get the concept, to me this film can be interpreted in a few different ways. I interpreted as, although you may feel like you are in a 'tough' spot in your relationship that doesn't mean you should be so quick to dismiss your partner and succumb to temptation.
