I saw "Take This Waltz" takes its title and mood of romantic fatalism from the Leonard Cohen song heard during a lovemaking montage of indeterminate reality/fantasy status.  Is a comfortable marriage really marriage enough?

Margot, as played by the unerring and complicatedly honest Williams, might never be content.

Is Margot a flake, or a woman simply following her heart, right behind her loins? Not all of "Take This Waltz"  The actors are excellent. Rogen falls very comfortably into the role of a 29-year-old who has fallen very comfortably into a living thing — a marriage — and stopped working on it. Williams is the ringer, a welter of difficult, delicate feelings in search of a resting place.

 

Margot, as played by the unerring and complicatedly honest Williams, might never be content.

It avoids the standard formula and is a compelling dance, with just the right touch of the unconventional. 

 

The Daniel (Luke Kirby), with whom Margot finds instant attraction.  Films exploring female sexuality, where Take This Waltz differs from other movies.   Daniel, who pulls a rickshaw, He  loves Margot, and when he can’t seduce her body, he very effectively seduces her mind.

It is emotionally self-aware film  and all three leads brilliantly convey the subtle nuances of characters caught in the various stages of a love triangle.

We had a nice Italian lunch in Norton St and talked a lot.
