      Andrew O'Hehir Salon
      Take This Waltz is frank, erotic, often very funny and sometimes startling, with an underlying tragic sensibility.

      Justin Chang Variety
      Despite a few tonal and structural missteps, this intelligent, perceptive drama proves as intimately and gratifyingly femme-focused as Polley's 2006 debut, "Away From Her."

      James Berardinelli ReelViews
      The film's emotional truth and honesty allows us to forgive a great many flaws.

      Melissa Anderson Village Voice
      There are enough unexpected delights, such as repurposing "Video Killed the Radio Star" during a critical moment between Margot and Daniel, to keep us interested in their drawn-out, teasing, tantalizing courtship.

      Entertainment Weekly
      By never standing back from Margot, the movie courts vagueness as well.

      Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine
      Take This Waltz is full of chance encounters, some less likely than a lobby with nine hundred windows or a bed where the moon has been sweating.

      Boxoffice Magazine
      Williams embodies Margot's inner turmoil with an unfussy sense of terrified instability.

      Keith Uhlich Time Out
      The troubling turns the story takes, which are meant as a rebuke to happily-ever-after stereotypes, are much more interesting in conception than they are in execution.

      The Hollywood Reporter
      This sophomore feature is a stumble backwards in terms of maturity.

      Peter Bradshaw The Guardian
      In theory, these are twentysomethings we're talking about. But they walk and talk like fortysomethings or fiftysomethings, such is their dullness and self-absorption.
