I was always a fan of Sarah Polley as an actress, but Take This Waltz makes me a fan of her writing and direction as well. This is easily one of my favorite films I've seen this year. Michelle Williams plays a listless married woman, Margot, who considers cheating on her rather immature husband (Seth Rogen) with a free spirit who recently moved across the street (Luke Kirby). A simple story, but one that transcends its premise, each scene well-observed and poetically shot. Polley's Toronto is summery in a way that is quite unusual for Canadian cinema, just gorgeous, and there's a bit of a squee moment for this Atlantic Canadian when the film starts out at Louisbourg. There's an ambiguity to the film that makes you wonder if certain scenes are actually happening as presented (or at all), or if they're part of Margot's imagination, but I think both interpretations flow into one another, both possible and neither completely true. This may help mitigate some of the criticism that this film somehow glorifies adultery (it SO doesn't, thanks for missing the point), because it may not even be happening. What it does is make each of its characters sympathetic and real - the childish silliness in Williams and Rogen's marriage feels particularly true and un-Hollywoodian - flaws and all.

Well that was awkward!

A great film about a relationship ending. You may also enjoy Blue Valentine if you liked this…
