Viewing Notes
via Netflix
Told from two perspectives, this engrossing drama depicts the dissolving union of Eleanor and Conor, who begin drifting apart after a tragic event in their lives. While I enjoyed both Him and Her, this does work much better with both perspectives intertwined to tell a more complete story on film all at once. Chastain and McAvoy are great in this, but Chastain is given more to work with and it really makes the scenes that Eleanor’s in and focus on her resonate more than Conor’s scenes. While it is a much better experience for me with both films combined into one, it is a neat experience and I recommend giving the Him and Her versions a shot before trying this one out.
