good actors but a little too precious

Conor Ludlow (James McAvoy) and Eleanor Rigby (Jessica Chastain) are a married NYC couple who has suffered a devastating lost. His restaurant is failing. She struggles and goes back to school taking Professor Friedman (Viola Davis)'s class. Her family Mary Rigby (Isabelle Huppert),Julian Rigby (William Hurt) and Katy Rigby (Jess Weixler) tries to help. She got her name from the Beatles song since her parents met waiting for a rumored Beatles show.

The acting is fine. The story is quietly poetic. I need more consistent rage. This is a lot of quiet sadness. Also it feels too disjointed and manufactured. Some of it is probably the name. It's kind of annoying. Anybody with that name would call herself Elle or something else. Part of it is the fact that this is probably better as two separate movies. I just keep wanting for the two characters to get together and cry it out. It's a bit too precious with saying out loud what the big lost was. The whole thing needs more gritty blow up. These characters need to stop dancing around the subject. It's not as dramatic.

Self-Indulgence Taken to a New Level of Who Cares

Talk about being Full of Yourself. No, Not the Characters in the Film, They are just Suffering from those Rich People Blues, but First Time Filmmaker, Director Ned Benson. He is as Spoiled as the Two Characters (Him and Her) that He Wallows with for Three (Count em') Movies.

One Movie about James Macavoy and One Movie about Jessica Chastain, the Titler Sulkers of the First Two Films, and then, for the Grand Finale, Both of "Them". Yikes. Isn't it Hard Enough to Draw Empathy for Rich Folks Self Pity, watching it in a Movie is a Hard Sell and here it's "No Sale".

Can't Imagine the Cast and Crew Working on the Movies weren't Suffering Depression of Their own, and Obviously the Director should be on Suicide Watch because something isn't quite Right with the Fellow and His "All the Lonely People" Obsession is Disturbing. He has a Privileged Life and He should Get On With It and "Let it Be".

This is an Excruciatingly Dire and Dull Movie with Dialog and Characters that are Uninteresting. So to Add to the Drudgery, there are No Answers to much of the Story-Line, it just Meanders in all of its Morose Glory and Asks the Viewer to Care. How Can the Audience Care except in the most Cursory and Shallow Acknowledgement, when the Withholding of Information makes the Whole Thing Elusive (the Baby's story).

Here's a Movie where a Two Year Old's Untimely Death is Turned into a MaGuffin. That's not Only Insulting to the Short Life of the Tragic Toddler, but an Insult to the Audience.

First we were "treated" to (500) DAYS OF SUMMER . . .

. . . and now we must survive what feels like FIVE THOUSAND YEARS IN 'EL. Plus, just when it seems that the Wishy-Washy Indecision cannot possibly get any worse, the end credits for this flick disclose that it's ACTUALLY some sort of a trilogy, so that masochists can savor HIM and HER after persevering all the way through THEM. I once had a classmate who timed each entry into single-user home bathrooms at parties if the line got too long. After two minutes, she'd yell out something like, "Time to tinkle, Tina, or GET OFF THE POT!" THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY appears to be a story in which no one ever comes close to tinkling. My viewing partner said that watching imaginary paint dry on a canvas that an abstract artist has left intentionally blank would seem like the trailer for MAD MAX: FURY ROAD compared to RIGBY. If a film student wastes eight minutes of your time on an Artsy-Fartsy non-story such as RIGBY, one would hope they'd have to repeat the course. There should be a law against Hollywood charging the going rate to see a two-hour film with a mysterious title and a totally limp tale!
