Review of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them (2014) by Tvjerry — 19 Sep 2014

James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain (whose character is named after the Beatles song) become estranged after suffering from 2 somewhat trite tragic events. With lesser actors, this movie would be insufferable.

The situations are predictable and the writing sometimes attempts to be flippant, but is mostly mundane. The brooding and frustration become tedious, but their performances make it bearable. Viola Davis, as usual, creates the most interesting character in the movie.

"Them" shows their misery from both points of view. It's planned to release 2 additional movies, one focusing on each experience. After seeing this combo, there's no reason to ever see any part of it again.
