Disappointing

Disappointing.

Had real potential as a relationship drama, but is clumsily told, and full of pretentiousness. Doesn't fall apart completely - just when you think there is no hope for it, the movie has something semi- profound to say. Sadly, these moments are few and far between.

Good cast wasted. Michelle Williams' dramatic skills are evident in the first half of the movie but from a point, pretty much the same point as when the movie turns to sh*t, her performance becomes one of crying spells and distant stares.

Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman are great comedic actors but they hardly have a funny line between them. Rogen seemed out of his depth, and clumsy, in a romantic/dramatic role.

Luke Kirby not enough for Michelle Williams

Margot (Michelle Williams) meets Daniel (Luke Kirby) on a plane ride home. They hit it off and then they realize that they are actually neighbors. She finds him intriguing and rethinks her bland marriage to Lou (Seth Rogen). Sarah Silverman plays Margot's friend Geraldine.

Writer/director Sarah Polley is trying to dive into the emotions of cheating. And it feels manufactured. There is something artificial about the attraction between Margot and Daniel. There is just not enough chemistry between the two. Seth Rogen puts in a nice piece of work. It helps that he has the most compelling scene in the movie. (water in the shower, I'll say no more) Michelle Williams has done this character before, and she does it well. She's the magnificent beauty who doesn't know herself. I have to put this down as a minor sophomore jinx for Sarah Polley after 'Away from Her'. Not too bad but I expect bigger and better things to come.

The old grass-is-always-greener marriage predicament...well-realized, if lacking in snap

Bored with her marriage to a cookbook author--whom she is chummy with, but not passionate about--an emotionally-restless young woman finds herself guiltily attracted to the hunky artist who lives across the street. He represents reckless, sexual abandon to her, but will she trade a good thing in for something better? Writer-director Sarah Polley has managed to gain the trust of her leading actors (Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen and Luke Kirby) with a mere sketch of a script, one in which the characters are never fully formed or convincing to us. That said, there are intriguing passages here, and a frank, matter-of-fact view of intimacy that is disarming. Polley's laying of the groundwork for this story is admirably careful and neat, but her rhythm is a little slow and soft, which may turn viewers off before the movie takes shape. Williams, playing a woman-child given to bursts of melancholia, is only really appealing when she shakes off the doldrums, and this takes some time. The film is thoughtfully composed and attractive, but what is the message at the end...that cohabitation is the death knell for modern romance? **1/2 from ****
