It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Here we go again, just another cuckold movie about a idiot husband watching his neighbor basically "fill" his wife while he is oblivious to his short "cummings" and stands by letting whomever shows up on his wife.The single guy, whom the wife thinks is so hot, has no one else to hit on except his neighbor's wife. Both have no sense of moral decency. Is this what the entertainment world thinks of men? They are either, oversexed or, what's the word for a baby cat? The story line is stupid. Here is another marriage where the wife is looking elsewhere for her needs except at home with the man, "SHE" decided to marry. An unsatisfied woman of her own doing and the spineless husband just stands by like another cuckold.As the story is written. The husband deserves all the cheating she does. Just another arsed-wipe of a man that does not deserve to have been born. This moron just was born to push his woman into other men's arms and is great at it.If I have to list a great quality on the husband, it would be, his impeccable talent to push his wife in the bed of another man like a well-trained cuckold. Is this what is becoming of the western man? God help us! BTW, the wife true self comes out of her. She is basically a "SLUT", incognito. Goes on to shag two women, even two guys at once. I will admit, she deserved her ending with her new man, proving she was the problem.

This is a great example of a director's prowess shining through. I have always respected director and writer Sarah Polley for her subtly and adherence to reality. I am sure most viewers found this slow and boring, but sometimes that is real life. Unlike most "infidelity"" films, there is no intense in-your-face passion and sudden life-altering decisions. The passion is intense, yes, but shown in a non-traditional, subtle manner that takes its time. The film's recurring theme is the "gap"; the "in-between" period, such as when she first meets her new lover, as she is taking a connecting flight. She admits to being "afraid of being afraid"; the frightening space of the unknown, like in her two romantic relationships. A phenomenal performance from Michelle Williams; this is a true character study that illustrates the internal struggle of a happily married woman that somehow find herself falling in love with another man. Is this possible? Can you love more than one person at once? Or is she really not in love with her husband? Is the novelty of this new man, the possibility of him being everything she is missing, worth risking her marriage? Seth Rogan plays an atypical role, and does it well. Sarah Silverman plays an alcoholic who has wisdom to share (You think everything can be worked out if you just make the right move? That must be thrilling... Life has a gap in it. It just does. You don't go crazy trying to fill it like some lunatic."). Little known actor Luke Kirby plays a respectable other man, letting the married woman make the decision, rather than seducing her. The saturated colors and cinematography make me want to visit Canada. Well done, Sarah Polley.

I'm giving this movie a 6 because although I found it good and I appreciated the concept, the movie lacked in a few areas.I wish this movie would have touched more on Margot and Lou's marriage. Yes I understand they hit a tough spot in their relationship, but that wasn't really elaborated on. The only interaction we saw between Margot and Lou was how they playfully annoyed each other, but we never really got to see who they were as a couple.I enjoyed the scenes between Margot and Daniel, it really captured the lust between the two. Although it didn't really show them falling in love, it did show how instant attractions happen. I also enjoyed the scenes of once she got with Daniel, they had multiple threesomes. To me this was showing the 'excitement' that came with getting with Daniel and the lust that was surrounding that relationship. Once the lust faded, she was right back in the same spot as she once was with her ex husband Lou right before she left him.The film was good, I get the concept, to me this film can be interpreted in a few different ways. I interpreted as, although you may feel like you are in a 'tough' spot in your relationship that doesn't mean you should be so quick to dismiss your partner and succumb to temptation.

At first when I watched this film I thought it too slow. Since then, after watching it again, and thinking more on it, it's now become a favorite film. Each time I see Michelle Williams on screen, I gain more respect for her, and realize just how great an actor she is. Enthralled by her outrageously outstanding performance in 'Incendiary' made me come back to TTW again. She is hands down one of the finest performers of her generation. And IMHO this movie shows the wide range of Seth Rogen's talent, he should do many more films like it. One reviewer wrote of the film.. "Lou was willing to go through the trenches because he's sharing his life with Margot.. while she's just an activity for Daniel." Definitely watch it, and if you've already seen it... watch it again.
