Review of Take This Waltz (2011) by Peter F — 10 Jul 2012

An interesting but frustrating movie. It's often unpredictable in the way it plays with the idea of a person's fantasy life getting in the way of a happy reality, and Michelle Williams is excellent as usual.

Unfortunately, it's very on-the-nose at times, and it really could have used some more judicious editing. Also, the men Margot is torn between both kind of come off as jerks, actually. It's too bad, because there are some genuinely nice things here, but overall, the film is just too unwieldly to be completely effective.
