"Take This Waltz" is a beautifully rendered portrait of a slow-motion seduction of young married woman who discovers how unhappy she is being married to a really sweet guy she doesn't want to hurt. This low-budget gem showcases spot-on performances from Luke Kirby as the neighbor, Seth Rogen as the comfortable and funny chef husband, and a quiet masterpiece of acting from Michelle Williams as a free lance writer discovering and exploring her feelings and her situation. Director/ writer/ producer Sarah Polley tells her story as a comedy/drama, with many well-observed details of present day relationships, set in a riot of color in the artist-haven Little Portugal section of Toronto. This movie is an impressively-crafted work from a filmmaker who clearly is going places.
