    Take This Waltz

    Wow, so much to say. Not as humorous as I thought it would be, considering some of the actors and critiques. For me, this film was interesting, slow to start, but evolved eventually into a tender, sensitive, dramatic, lightly humourous and insightful film. Smart writing, producing and directing and I believe it to be, a statement of our times. I liked the writing of Sarah Polley and I think that the scenes such as the raw nudity and the "baby talk," were purposely inserted, and not intended to be erotic, nor funny. I believe there were messages there. Michelle Williams, Luke Kirby and Seth Rogen all portrayed real characters, with a very humane approach re their inner selves and a brilliant display of heir struggles in life and how they cope with them, especially in the "gaps." Sarah Silverman, whom I have never seen on the stage, reaffirms these statements about life in her dramatic, funny, real and smart self. (sadly not always smart herself) My heart went out to all three main characters, for different reasons. I felt for them even after the movie ended. It stayed with me. There was the odd scene that I felt unnecessary that detracted from the picture. The music was enjoyable and the score, sadly beautiful as was the movie. Toronto Beaches and Nova Scotia made attractive settings and provided meaning for the characters. I think the movie was a fine film with some not so covertly important messages. Life is about evolving and reflecting, otherwise we have no growth. At the end, does Margot start her growth or? The final scene leaves us with some questions. After all, life is not perfect. There are always unanswered questions and we cannot go from "boat to boat." We must swim the waters in between. Go see the film. It really leaves you with an awakening.
