James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain (whose character is named after the Beatles song) become estranged after suffering from 2 somewhat trite tragic events.

The situations are predictable andJames McAvoy and Jessica Chastain (whose character is named after the Beatles song) become estranged after suffering from 2 somewhat trite tragic events. With lesser actors, this movie would be insufferable. The situations are predictable and the writing sometimes attempts to be flippant, but is mostly mundane. The brooding and frustration become tedious, but their performances make it bearable. Viola Davis, as usual, creates the most interesting character in the movie. "Them" shows their misery from both points of view. It's planned to release 2 additional movies, one focusing on each experience. After seeing this combo, there's no reason to ever see any part of it again.… Expand

So basically, I have watched the same movie twice, and certain scenes three times where the path of Conor and Eleanor converges.

The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby

Ned Benson, the writer and director, sings a love song of two stanzas in this trilogy. A love story told from the perspective of both the partners, the film is properly balanced. Going through the script Benson's most of the time is spent upon just doing that. Balancing it. And as much effortful it would be, it is equally easy on the screen. And that is his biggest achievement and probably compliment too. The film looks easy. It flows smoothly. The supporting characters makes sense, the conversations necessary and the circumstances falls into place naturally. And maybe that's why the individual chapters speaks more to you. The complex nature of the other side is thrown right at your face which you aren't expecting, especially in a film like such, of a genre like such.

The film divided itself visually in two colours. These colors represent the nature of the characters that steers the film. For instance the blue shade that James McAvoy carries is the suppressed emotional background that never makes him decide anything. And if it does, it is not his favourite position to be at. He can't choose. Jessica Chastain is quite opposite on that note. Her sunny shaded colour signifies the active nature of hers on that relationship, where her good or bad deeds and self-appointed position of choosing things; deliberately or accidentally, lights the fire.

Them

This final chapter- not actually- doesn't serve a purpose beyond the fact that if you wish to know what actually happened. And as a result, you have to watch the first two chapters. But if you do, then 90 percent of the film is already in your pocket. Yet, with crisp clean editing, you can learn from the film, how a first draft of a script is edited out.… Expand
