Two separate but united stories, about the break down of one couple's marriage, told from both his and her perspective. James McAvoy (The Last King of Scotland) and Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) star as Conor and Eleanor in this complex dual tale that examines the subjective nature of perspective by weaving together two people's recollections of the same relationship. There are three versions of the film released. Him is the story from Conor's perspective, Her is from Eleanor's perspective and Them combines both view points.

Variety
Variety"Despite the sparkling cast and engaging, well-tuned turns from Chastain and McAvoy, the scaled-down script doesn't carry much weight, bogged down by clunky, Hallmark dialogue."
