Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

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.

stellbread In Take This Waltz, a young wife—Margot (Nichelle Williams) is forced into a moral dilemma. She must choose between remaining in her staid and predictable marriage to Lou (Seth Rogen), a bland fellow who lacks a communicative spark, or going outside her marriage for the allure of the silver tongued Daniel (Luke Kirby), who lives across the street. Luke is aware of her desire for meaningful repartee and begins a slow, but subtle seduction, played out skillfully by writer/director Sarah Polley. Because Lou is more attentive to his work as a chef, rather than his marriage, the viewer ponders whether Margot makes the right decision by exploring what Daniel has to offer. Conflict arises as her quandary centers on the conflict between remaining devoted to her husband Lou, an aspiring cook and author, and fulfilling her need for personal growth and mental stimulation. The opposing view, presented by Margot's alcoholic sister-in-law Geraldine (Sarah Silverman, in a noteworthy performance) is that Margot has a duty to eschew temptation. "You think everything can be worked out if you just make the right move? That must be thrilling," Geraldine warns. "Life has a gap in it. It just does. You don't go crazy trying to fill it like some lunatic."Daniel is artistic, a rapscallion with a poet's heart. During their first conversation she is able to reveal her vulnerabilities. With such revelation comes unspoken intimacy, and initially Margot tries to put a lid on her feelings. However, Daniel represents something new, the possibility of escaping a relationship of ennui, like so many of her friends.While Margot loves her husband, and while he professes his love for her, something is missing. Margot is not secretive about how she feels, and on the night the two celebrate their anniversary, Margot trieds to get Lou to converse with her. After an awkward silence, Lou admits that he doesn't see the allure of talking for talking's sake. His words sting, but Margot toughs it out through the dinner; but does that mean she has to do the same with her mundane marriage? Daniel articulates his feelings for Margot in a poetic, but x0rated manner, which blows her away and is more than Lou will even attempt. At that moment she discovers Daniel can give her what Lou cannot, but can it be prolonged? Driven by a need to create her own happiness without hurting her husband, Margot navigates a fine line between flirting and cheating. She makes another attempt to express her feelings to Lou, but he is befuddled by her request, and asks and boils his life down into one sentence: "I'm just making chicken." Margot replies, "You're always just making chicken."Margot's decision is an emotional one rather than moral. It pleases her to see that Lou has launched a successful career as a cookbook author, but her relationship with Daniel hits a lull, symbolized by a telling bathroom scene and the use of Bruce Woolley and the Camera Club's Video Killed the Radio Star.Still, Margot is happy for having stepped outside her drab life with Lou to experience new pleasures with Daniel. In the end, she discovers the truth in her friend's words, "even new things get old." If one defines wisdom as the ability to decide what is the best decision and then acting accordingly, then Margot makes the wise and correct decision, damn the consequences.

Angel Youles The story follows Margot (Michelle Williams) who without doubt loves her husband, Lou (Seth Rogen), and has been married to him for years, one day she meets who turns out to be her new neighbour on a plane Daniel as she gets to know him more she cannot deny her feelings for him.The story focuses on the married couple's relationship and their attempts to reignite a lost spark between them. It's daring for the filmmaker to portray a story about infidelity in love. Many love films portray infidelity as something committed by the antagonist or villain of a film, yet this film seeks to, on a very human level, understand how this can happen in long loving relationships by inviting us into the mind and heart of Margot.A moment in the film that really resonated with me was when she was the most joyful and with Daniel, when they were on the fair ride with the song "Video Killed the Radio Star." By Buggles playing. It's the moment that the film invites the audience to see what's important as they can relate it to a previous sequence where she explains how much the song meant to her and her brother. This emphasized by the end sequence as the song is playing at the end, telling us how important Daniel is her happiness.It's a love story like no other, as it is about loving two people. There is an overall sadness about the marriage and that she wants it so much to work, yet she has love and desire for another man. The husband is portrayed as understanding to her by the end of the film as the have realized their unhappiness.It's a very powerful and enjoyable film that explores the nature of love and relationships.

adi_2002 As you can see the synopsis here is written in only one phrase. The movie lasts for almost two hours. For such a small subject the entire flick is too slow and boring. Yes the action is nice but why show the same scenes again and again? In lack of something else you deliver the same repeated action. Seth Rogen is inappropriate for his role, he looks like a geek who doesn't belong there. The role of the spouse was better acted. Also the part of the lover was again weird, because the guy looks like he is gay. Of course there is some nudity in it but not in a vulgar way so that's good, you don't see this in other movies.I remain to my point that is too long, it could be made easily in 70 or 80 minutes not 120. Give it a chance and I wish you good luck not too fall asleep.
