Review of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them (2014) by Ian G — 31 Dec 2014
The disappearance of Eleanor Rigby seems to be a more melancholy and brooding version of say the Break Up or (500) Days of Summer, dropping in on a relationship at its beginning and the potential disintegration due to a seizmic event in their marriage, in this case the death of their infant son, with Chastain and McAvoys character dealing with their different reactions to the event, not knowing how to come out of their respective funks.
The film itself is a bit of a drudge since it is mostly on the downbeat with a seemingly tagged on ending to add some hope for the audience, with the standout performance for Chastian yet again, she seems to be one of those actresses who is able to read the phone book and make it seem interesting and has one of those presences on screen you can turn your eyes away from.
Otherwise seemingly pretty pedestrian.
