Review of Take This Waltz (2011) by Spangle — 10 Apr 2016
Starring a truly insufferable protagonist, Take This Waltz is just a truly aggravating experience. While the acting is fine, the writing feels like it was written by a 10-year old who just discovered sex and thought this script was a good idea.
The film is the grating kind of indie cinema that believes it is offering interesting insights into a certain topic, but is actually offering absolutely nothing of value. Here, the topic is marriage and infidelity.
Tragically for Take This Waltz, these topics have been broached by better, less annoying films. While authentically written and well acted by Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen, this is simply an unpleasant experience all-around.
Never quite as insightful as it thinks it is, Take This Waltz is that awful kind of indie film that shows quite expertly why a bad blockbuster is better than a bad indie film any day of the week. Boring and annoying, Take This Waltz is not a film I would recommend.
