Once happily married, Connor (James McAvoy) and Eleanor (Jessica Chastain) suddenly find themselves as strangers longing to understand each other in the wake of tragedy. The film explores the couple's story as they try to reclaim the life and love they once knew and pick up the pieces of a past that may be too far gone. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Seeing the fusion of the entire film and watching all three of them gives me the creeps, but in a reprehensibly negative way. Him is shorter, grittier and of course typically masculine. The upside is that it cuts to the chase and the actors, thanks to the well-handled emotions in the script, have a lot to work with and do it damn well. Plus, the female support in Her (Viola Davis) is ably reflected in Him by the male counterpart (Ciarán Hinds), as both play the the gender opposites of the same character. The idea of splitting it up is a solid one, although a lot of the scenes are the same but from the opposite perspective, but OK, it's original by the standards of the day. But I won’t bother with Them.

First of all, I have to thank the Pilsen Film Club for screening Him and Her on the same night right after each other. If there was any more space between the films, I probably wouldn't rate them the way I do. The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby is a perfectly crafted romantic drama with very believable performances, an impressively quiet atmosphere, and a rather unexpectedly evolving story that takes its time in revealing various important things, but doesn't drag on and doesn't get boring.____The first film, Him, is a really compelling look inside a young man coming to terms with what has come, and while he knows what he wants, he has no idea if or how he's going to get it. James McAvoy plays him brilliantly, and he has a great partner in Jessica Chastain, who is cold only until she smiles. Ciarán Hinds as his saintly father, who constantly fails to utter wisdom, is also sensational, and the staff at Conor's restaurant is a very likeable bunch. It's not a happy story, but it is full of hope.
