“Take This Waltz, Sarah Polley’s honest, sure-footed, emotionally generous second feature. Ms. Williams, one of the bravest and smartest actresses working in movies today, portrays a young woman who is indecisive and confused, but never passive.” – A. O. Scott, The New York Times
“As memorable as it is insightful, Take This Waltz is one of the best films of the year.” – Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“Sarah Polley’s second film is a masterfully painted portrait of an ordinary marriage under threat, dominated by a central performance of exquisite subtlety and observation.” – David Hughes, Empire
