Product Description
Product Description
When Margot (Michelle Williams), 28, meets Daniel (Luke Kirby), their chemistry is intense and immediate. But Margot suppresses her sudden attraction; she is happily married to Lou (Seth Rogen), a cookbook writer. When Margot learns that Daniel lives across the street from them, the certainty about her domestic life shatters. She and Daniel steal moments throughout the steaming Toronto summer, their eroticism heightened by their restraint. Swelteringly hot, bright and colorful like a bowl of fruit, TAKE THIS WALTZ leads us, laughing, through the familiar, but uncharted question of what long-term relationships do to love, sex, and our images of ourselves.
Amazon.com
"What's missing?" is a question contemplated at some point in every relationship. Margot (Michelle Williams) loves her husband Lou (Seth Rogan), but sometimes she feels unaccountably empty and anxious. When she meets Daniel (Luke Kirby), she denies her instant attraction because she's a happily married woman. But when chance and circumstance continue to throw the two together, Margot's restlessness and longing override her fear of the unknown and she acts on their mutual attraction. Margot's choice permanently alters her relationship with both Lou and Daniel, but what eventually becomes apparent is that true happiness depends more on learning to love oneself than on the love received from others. Take This Waltz is an introspective, leisurely paced film that is sometimes graphic, is always heartfelt, and says more through meaningful looks and telling actions than with actual words. Luckily, Williams excels in this type of role and Rogan and Kirby also prove up to the challenge. --Tami Horiuchi

The two are different from each other. Margot feels the space between them but does not want to explore what is happening on a deeper level until she meets a carefree urban hobo / artist by chance when visiting a local landmark. She later realizes that he lives across the street from her. Daniel, the artist seems to see past her normal facade and made up excuses and stories. He calls it for what it is and makes her realize that she does not want everyday security but a raw deep connection with someone who feels her being deeply and allows her to be an individual.
The film is shot in beautiful urban Toronto. The backdrop and streets are full of color and life. The main characters of Margot and Daniel are played by the talented and adaptable Michelle Williams and hunky, deep and slightly mysterious Luke Kirby. Michelle gives a great performance of a young woman who is not sure what is lacking in her life. She tries to hold on to the things that others say are good for her and struggles with being pursued by a slightly obsessive suitor. The cerebral and sexual tension between the two actors heightens as the film progresses. One of the best non sex, erotic scenes happens in a cafe where Daniel tells Margot what he will do with her (this happens about 45 minutes into the movie). Luke Kirby looks at Michelle Williams as if he can see deep into her soul and Michelle looks increasingly like she has been carried away on a cloud when she looks at him. The acting is superb. Excellent performances are also seen by Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogen.
This is now one of my all time favorite movies. I hope to see more from Sarah Polley who wrote and directed this movie.
It is a visually stunning piece of art. The way the camera makes use of light, plays with focus, and the colors...film students should not miss this one!
And, yes, Michelle Williams is excellent - but there are plenty of movies with good acting, so that's a lesser mention.
What sets this movie apart - in addition to the stunning film work - is the brilliant story wonderfully told. I don't even know what to say about all the low ratings I found here except I suppose it went over their heads? That surprised me. I suppose, if you're looking for a movie that will simply entertain without forcing you to think or wrestle with things, then yeah- this movie would be a let down. The first time I saw this movie I mentally bookmarked it as a movie to show my kids one day. It accurately depicts what real life is like - the listlessness, the longing, the search for unrealistic solutions to a "problem" that is primarily mistaken expectations...ironically rooted in our exposure to so many movies that lie to us about what life is like.
The use of the carnival ride is spot on. Falling in love gives us a feeling like we're alive and something amazing is happening. But, inevitably, the lights come up, the music stops abruptly, and we're left in a lackluster room wondering why we no longer have that feeling. How many marriages end because people think they've "lost that loving feeling"? Or because, they experience that thrill again with their coworker and think that means they've chosen the wrong person? The world is filled with Margots, people who think their feelings mean something that they don't, and go chasing a way to capture the right feelings and escape their listlessness.
There is one excellent scene with what I'd call honest nudity - women, representing all types, chatting in the shower room at the pool. Well done, I say. The sexual montage toward the end seemed out of sync with the rest of the film, though. Maybe the explicitness of it was necessary, if uncomfortable, but I was distracted and perplexed by the threesome scenarios.
The metaphorical waltz in the pool scene was sweet choreography. Liked it a lot.
It was slightly chopped up (edited) without losing any of the story. Amazon Prime Video has a bad habit of re-editing films to please a larger audience than the OG film was intended for. It's like watching films edited for regular TV.
Please, I beg of you, Leave these films alone. I don't agree with you thinking you have the right to reframe a mona lisa because it didn't fit on your living room wall. Buy a Degas instead.
This was a really good inde film in spite of the tampering.

The daily cooking of the chicken recipes emphasizes even more to her the deadness of her current relationship; whilst the human capacity to always be a little bit discontented points to what could happen eventually if she did move in with her new love. We all, often, feel a "causeless unhappiness" (not feeling happy and not feeling unhappy either) in life. "But this causeless unhappiness is something we don't have a place for culturally," says director Sarah Polley. "So we think of it as a problem."
Luke Kirby as Daniel is incandescently attractive as the neighbour, filling Margot's (Michelle Williams) life with such exciting possibility. There is a thrilling scene with Daniel and Margot sitting on a fast revolving, whirling fairground ride, their faces shy, desiring. Video killed the radio star helps the scene beat even faster.
Later, in a moment of great happiness for the couple, Take This Waltz, Leonard Cohen's magnificent music plays, loud and insistent and direct.
If you like fiction and films that contain desire, loneliness and longing, beautifully expressed, there is a good chance you will enjoy Take This Waltz.
Give it a try. See what you think.
