This movie is about fake love ... and how you could deceive yourself by love while your actual feeling us love .... And how the passion could be lost in a long term relationship.She had an ordinary life with her husband ... nothing new .... and she met with this handsome man with even a strange job who lived beside her. First she met with him to put something new in her life and put some adventures in her ordinary life.. but step by step her adventure turned into passion and then lust... ( look to the strange and inappropriate request in the restaurant). Of course this helped by the cold emotion of her husband.And he also felt with lust to her ..look to what happened ..when she ran from her husband to his lap .. he sinked first in the juice of pleasure and lust ... but when they felt that the lust was going away.... she brought a woman ... and he brought a man .... to spice things up.... but at the end they reached to the same life .... monotonous ordinary life... even she went to the swing alone...You feel her regret in the movie .. and to lesser extent his regret. Especially when she came back to her first husband and met again with his family... she missed him and the company of his family . And to be a part of his achievements and to find he was working for previously their dreams.Good casting ... with so.e questions about Seth Rogan Michelle Williams was brilliant

This movie is so color saturated as to make it look like a candy wrapper. Because, this movie is candy for cougars and female teachers that lust after their underage male students. Polly is about as sexist as Harvey Weinstein when she depicts men. Either they are 'dogs' or irresistible hotties that women have no impulse control over and must jump on top of. This movie seems to be Polly's way of getting back at all the good men in her life. Polly here makes a thesis why women should dump good men in favour of louses. Generally the movie is a yawn fest. But the icing on the unbaked cake is the ridiculous, over the top, completely unnecessary, overly long sex montage where she spends way too long positioning Michelle Williams in a variety of sex positions while the camera insinuates the passage of time. Polly isn't happy until Williams has worked her way through the Kama Sutra. When I saw this at the theater the whole audience burst out laughing at that scene. Polly clearly needs to visit PornHub more often and perhaps invest in a Japanese bedside toy. This movie is for women that dream of leaving a loving home and family to screw every good looking, underage, poor narcissist or homeless person she sees. The only thing missing here is the canned laughter.

....and it is the four-year-female-feral-sexual-cycle.Evolutionary biology equips us (for better or worse) with an ingrained memory of a short life, and an even shorter reproductive cycle.Back in the caveman-and-cave-woman days, women would reject their mates roughly four years after the 1st offspring; the reason is quite simple: the need to avoid congenital defects.(Let me be the 1st to admit that I'm not a biologist or a psychologist, but I have read a little about the phenomenon. And let's not forget that culture matters - society-wide, the concept of life-long marriage, a general disdain for divorce and the need to raise children with both parents have pretty clear purposes, but the notion of 'falling out of love' has its roots in the four-year-female-feral-sexual-cycle.... furthermore let's also keep in mind that some men really can be jerks, but that's not the case here).This plays out in 'Take This Waltz.' Margot has been married to Lou for five years, meets a dark, handsome stranger and all-of-a-sudden finds there are 'gaps' in her life.She then feels somewhat guilty about leaving her husband, but by the end of the movie we see how effective that guilt really was.Michelle Williams did a great job as Margot, and Seth Rogen, surprisingly, was not a jerk, but a sensitive guy who simply cannot read his wife's mind.I give it an 8 out of 10, because it really does put women in a less-than-flattering light (most TV and a not-a-few movies follow the 85% rule - since women make or influence 85% of consumer purchases, never portray a woman as anything less than perfect and avoid showing men in a sympathetic light); hats off to the director for a 'warts-and-all' approach to portraying partners in a relationship.

No, this didn't work for me. Slow moving, not romantic, not funny, not charming or quirky (in a good way) mostly just weird and at times making no sense whatsoever. Maybe I should stop watching these Indie films, I obviously don't "get" them.Michelle Williams plays a seemingly happily married woman (to Seth Rogan) who falls for the neighbor across the street. Her performance is good but I never understood her character, there's no real angst in her relationship, she just gets bored I guess. For whatever reason there's also lot of (pointless) nudity from all the women, the shower scene after the water aerobics. Williams is naked a ton; showering, peeing, having sex. More pubes than I've seen in a long time. Sarah Silverman is here too, also naked and unfunny. A lot of comedians in an unfunny jumbled mess of a movie. 7/26/14
