The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them (2014)

Sadly Over-hyped

Good movie but grossly overrated

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This film tells the story of a married couple who grief after the loss of their son. They separate to grief on their own, and the film tells the story from their respective perspectives.The film starts off merry but soon turns very tragic without the viewers knowing why. When the reason for Eleanor's suicide is finally known to the viewer, it deepens the viewer's understanding of her emotions that she goes through. Most of the scenes are about her, and there is not much about him. As a standalone film, this works and is quite emotionally intense. Jessica Chastain is great as usual, although I'm really noticing that she is far too thin.After watching the three films, I have to say that "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them" is far too similar to "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Her". Most of the footage comes from Her. I'd suggest watching Him and Her, and skip Them; or just watch Them.

(Based on a casual viewing in Apr-15)To begin with, it was not an easy film-viewing experience; however, Ned Benson​ sure did a good job at directing but, mostly at writing. Though, I am still quite confounded about what conclusion should be drawn from this strangely sentimental, tragic stricken romantic-drama about a married couple falling apart; which is the reason perhaps not to watch it again, or to skip it altogether. Still, there is a dull-sense of association that one could form while watching this certain production.The film proved to be somewhat a surreal viewing experience when observing closely the treatment of a really difficult, helpless and hopeless situation heightened by the mind's own stress and insecurities, on a general scale. It may not be the best in a while, still it stands quite unconventional just because of the aforementioned, even in its stereotypical plotting.Beautifully portrayed by James McAvoy,​ and by the formidably outstanding and one of my personal favourites - Jessica Chastain​, with both characterisations above mark, but it's actually their on-screen chemistry worth a lot more, and perhaps the best reason to watch this film; and also the other two parts of this trilogy.Rating - 6/10

The movie really push the viewers' edge in telling it's story. It kind of run on a badly too stable mood for all the entire two hour run time. The story gets to be that frustrating because it kind of uses the weirdest editing style I have ever seen. It makes one feels a bit thrown off in watching this movie. It took me some time to notice that the story flow actually uses the alternating back and forth flow direction. I learned that this movie is actually the cinema release of the two versions Him and Her, each at about 90 and 100 minutes. Well, considering from this movie's atmosphere, that would have been a pretty stressful time to spend by watching those movies. But on the other hand, the acting work is surprisingly a great work in overall, especially by the two lead cast James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain. They both exhibit really nice character involvement in those engaging scenes of strong emotion play. I really like how James played Conor when he has an argument with his friend at the bar. Jessica Chastain did a great job in portraying the difficult emotions Eleanor has.
