“Take This Waltz” stars Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Sarah
Silverman and Luke Riley. Michelle Williams is a very talented actress who
seems to be much better than the films in which she appears (e.g. “Marilyn”
etc.). This film written and directed by Sarah Polley is no exception as Ms.
Williams struggles as the bored and unhappy housewife who meets and immediately
connects with another man and it is her journey through this complex set of
circumstances that we watch for 116 minutes. The movie is too long and
experiences the same frustrating theme over and over again. Perhaps a 3d party
editing the film would have seen what Ms. Polley could not. It is indeed
difficult to delete your own creative endeavors but good films demand that this
be done. I give this effort by Ms. Polley 2 and ½ stars.. The possibilities and
ideas are there but they just don’t seem to reach their potential.
