Take This Waltz


Michelle Williams is in a happy, if unexciting, marriage to Seth RogenRogen is an author of chicken cookbooks and this means the constant smell of chicken in their kitchen and a recurring menu of chicken for dinner. Their relationship is comfortable but Williams is receptive to something more.

When Williams, on a regional trip, has a chance encounter with dishy Luke Kirby who happens to be a neighbour, the excitement and danger he represents proves irresistible.

'Take This Waltz' is a curious, oddball film. Scenes that will be confronting for some, such as a female full frontal nudity shower scene or Kirby discussing in frank language how he will engage in sex with Williams, mix with scenes of homely family gatherings.

Williams is a fine actress and this performance maintains her reputation. Kirby is a charismatic individual and I can perfectly understand Williams being drawn to his charms.

I liked it.
