Margot and Lou are a happily married couple living a quiet, comfortable existence. After years of being together, they have settled for contentment and security over excitement. But when she falls in love with Daniel, their handsome and charismatic neighbor, her life is suddenly thrown out of order.
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.
