Take This Waltz is a Remarkable, Offbeat Love Story

Chase Whale, Film.com
Fresh

A hard-headed, generous film about love.

Cath Clarke, Time Out

Polley (who's been an actress herself) never judges these people she's created. Instead, she depicts the giddy, fleeting and illusory nature of new love, and lets us get caught up in it, too.

Christy Lemire, Associated Press

No one's a cliche; no one speaks dialogue the viewer could have muttered a beat or two ahead of the movie; no one hews to a mode of behavior fabricated to explain away his or her irrational behavior.

John Anderson, Newsday
Rotten

[It] often feels thin and self-conscious.

John Hartl, Seattle Times
