The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Him / Her

A subversive movie delight, told in two intertwined films, that breathes new life into this tired genre.

Why did Eleanor Rigby disappear? Ned Benson delivers a delicate romantic dramedy, with emphasis on the drama without tipping the scales. The brilliant James McAvoy and the divine Jessica Chastain used to be together but now they're not.

What exactly happened? And if they still love each other, will they finally manage to get over the past and be together again? Each character's point of view unfolds subjectively on the screen, but the question remains: can anyone be objective about love?

A subversive movie delight, told in two intertwined films, that breathes new life into this tired genre. T.Th.
