Marriage Story

It's not that Marriage Story is completely disinterested in the gender dynamics at play in heterosexual relationships, and the way they reverberate in society at large. But its brief moments of commentary don't translate...

Marriage Story is so raw and emotionally burning that the experience is best savoured alone.

What should feel authentic can often feel hokey, sanitized and a fairy-tale of what a divorce could look like if people just got out of their own way.

Noah Baumbach's latest film portrays both sides of a messy divorce, for once.

The movie is 136 minutes, but the recovery period is, well, at least the rest of the night.

The entire cast is rock solid, with Johansson and Driver turning in two of the very best performances of their careers.

As a painfully honest portrait of a relationship on the rocks inches from reconciliation, Marriage Story is a revelation, but films including The Worst Person in the World have done it better.

“Marriage Story” could’ve easily been called “Divorce Story”, but the contradicting title suggests that marriage is a failed institution.

Here’s director Noah Baumbach at his usual best, lending a levelheaded perspective on a love on the rocks and the unnecessary vitriol born out of a couple’s disappointments and frustrations.

If you want to know what emotional evisceration feels like, then look no further than Netflix’s upcoming movie Marriage Story, a rich and superbly made balancing act of joy and sorrow.
