I wanted to like this movie much more than I did, but I found it pedantic and too self-important. The flighty, dream girl character is becoming an overused indie film stereotype. Michelle Williams is an actress capable of great depth and emotion, and I just couldn't bring myself to care about her selfish character. It's nice to see Seth Rogen's usual dude-bro/bull-in-a-china-shop persona tuned down and replaced with a sweet if sad, attentive husband character. Luke Kirby is certainly charming. Overall, though, Take This Waltz comes off as yet another indie movie that needs brisker pacing and less "artful silences."

It was a pleasure to have viewed this quiet, little gem. I was moved by the raw, unsentimental look at relationships. Passion, emptiness, choices in life, and yearning are prevalent themes. Yes, it was sad and painful in parts, but there was wonderful humour to contrast and sustain you through it. Oftentimes in life, there's no one right choice to make at a crossroads, and this movie explores that idea. We're always looking for more in life....is that change worth the disruption to the status quo always, once the newness wears off? And if so, at what cost? Depending on where you are in life, this film can either touch your sensibilities or bore you. Those married for a long time can better appreciate the nuances of this film. If you picked up the film to see Seth Rogan or Sarah Silverman in their typecast in-your-face comedy, you're not going to be satisfied. Both did a brilliant turn here, however. I actually watched and enjoyed the Special Features....something I rarely do.

I much preferred Sarah Polley's previous move, Away From Her, to this. This film has excellent performances and a story that does move along like a dance of sorts, but for me the main character is just too childish to be likeable or to relate to. Had that element been taken down a notch I would have enjoyed the film more. A minor annoyance is the very spacious (expensive) loft at the end, perfect for the dance scene but accommodation very much at odds with the previous lifestyle. Despite these caveats it's a film with meaning and impact--if you manage to see it through to the end.

Can passion and familiarity co-exist? Is the wonder of newness worth the enchantment even if we are not ignorant to the fact that it too shall become old? Loved this movie, such raw exposure of the deeper layers of long marriage if we peel them away to show the honest yearnings and needs of the inner self. If you liked this movie see "ONCE"

It is serious movie. I can understand, why somebody rates it as boring. No guns were fired, no dead falling down and blood running, no wild goose chases. Just plain everyday life with many pluses and minuses, as they come....

It was a bad sign, at around the 58-minute mark, when I checked how much time was left for the film and saw that another full *hour* was going to occur. Should've turned it off. I feel like the storyline of couples in transition has been overused in the last few years: "Blue Valentine" and "The Future" come to mind and I'm sure there are others.

desire and passion - the sizzle can fizzle. Margot wants a relationship that will fill her emptiness. perhaps by the end she realizes that she will have to do that for herself.

B O R I N G ....

Gross...really gross. I only watched half of it.

sarah you did very good job i engoy yor work very much keep up yor good work
