The LP edit of Ned Benson’s star-studded, double-album relationship drama gains more than it loses thanks to skillful recutting.

Eight months after premiering as a work-in-progress at Toronto, tyro helmer Ned Benson’s two-volume, three-hour-plus marital drama “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby” has shed its bifurcated structure and some 70 minutes from its running time, but what’s been lost in girth and conceptual framework has arguably been gained in narrative clarity and emotional resonance. A flawed but fascinating project in any form, “Rigby” is now set to be released (by the Weinstein Co.) in all three edits across various platforms, but it’s this latest version that looks to be seen by the widest audience.
