"Take This Waltz" isn't all about probing insecurities or lusting over the hot neighbor across the street. It's about what connections people choose to see through. Go to Full Review Jim Ross TAKE ONE Magazine 02/13/2020
Sarah Polley holds it together with a sure sense of the film's tone and outlook and is helped along by an endearing performance from Michelle Williams. Go to Full Review Kristy Strouse In Their Own League 02/06/2020
It's the humanistic and harsh reality that settles into the bones of Take This Waltz that makes it memorable. When I first saw it I wasn't sure how to feel, I just knew that I did. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Heather T @Biophiliac25 Jan 4 One of my favourite romantic dramas of all time. A subtle and deeply moving exploration of the complexities of love and lust. See more Tracy W @RT85017635 Sep 29 Great movie, great acting by all especially by Michelle Williams even though I really disliked her character in the end. Without spoiling the movie I really appreciated that some things stick. See more Gareth v @geewah Aug 10 A tender, realistic look at emotional restlessness and the choices we make in love. Subtle and resonant, if a bit slow. See more dilieva T @RT52299540 Aug 9 Awful movie, I don’t understand why they did it, how can to relate to such thing. The whole thing was about confused girl that have noting else to do instead of wondering should she cheat to her husband with the neighbour which was in some kind of fairytale, weirdly similar to her weird persona… Very disturbing and weird movie… See more Charles P @RT36323923 Jul 5 One of the worst films I've ever seen. If watching actors convincingly portraying awful characters doing awful things to one another - with very little consequence - is your thing, feel free to waste two hours on this infuriatingly narcissistic, self-absorbed 'romance' - an utter pile of dog doo, for me. See more Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Apr 26 A great movie. I loved the awkwardness of Williams and rogens marriage with the playfulness of Kirby and Williams relationship.
