Sarah Polley’s directorial debut was fantastic. Let’s see if lightning can strike twice.

Take This Waltz

Plot Summary: A young woman struggles to accept her marriage to her husband in the face of a new man in her life who seems to have the romanticism she feels she lacks in her marriage.
Release Date: June 29, 2012

Poster

Trailer

Rating: D+
Commentary: You know that most directors don’t have input on their poster designs because I can’t imagine Sarah Polley letting something this generic and indistinguishable pass.
Rating: B
Commentary: Sarah Polley is one of those directors who doesn’t take traditional approaches to stories, so I’m already sold on the film. Yet, the trailer does a nice job setting this up as an unconventional drama about the nature of love and relationships.

Oscar Chances: Polley’s prior film (Away from Her) earned its star Julie Christie an Oscar nomination and several precursor awards along with an Adapted Screenplay nomination. I see this film as being a potential figure in this year’s Oscar race as long as critics take a shine to it. Michelle Williams, at least, has to be considered a potential contender.
