Our take

Like the Leonard Cohen song of the film’s title, Sarah Polley’s Take This Waltz is a dance of pure desire and romantic longing. Starring Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, and Luke Kirby, it’s a remarkably honest and utterly moving look at a marriage in crisis that effervesces with melancholy emotion.
