If you loved Away from Her, try Take This Waltz

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Sarah Polley, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Away from Her, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Take This Waltz is

Take This Waltz treats marital dissatisfaction like a slow leak in a tire—noticeable, frustrating, and eventually impossible to ignore. Margot’s cozy life with her chef husband cracks when a charming neighbor moves in and starts leaving art notes on her fridge. The film ends not with a grand declaration but with the quiet hum of a door left slightly ajar.
