Marriage Story
— This feels like a very personal look at a breakup from the perspective of each person’s individual pain, confusion, and evolution, more than from a couple’s perspective. Although there are a few scenes of loud anger and a couple of very sharkish attorneys stirring the pot (Laura Dern is perfect), for the most part its more an implosion than an explosion for a couple who at their core want to find the best path for their son and their individual souls so they can build new lives on the other side of marriage, after coping with the tidal wave of divorce that seems to take on a life of its own. Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are exceptional, making it easy to feel their pain and confusion, and making it a film well worth seeing. [Netflix streaming.]
[2019. 136 min. Written and directed by Noah Baumbach. Stqarring Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, Laura Dern, Ray Liotta, Alan Alda, and Azhy Robertson.]
