Marriage Story(2019) by Noah Baumbach, who is often referred to as a younger version Woody Allen, would perhaps the most impressive and heart-melting film in this year.
1.66:1 aspect ratio, unique.
What I love about the film is the screenwriter's well use of details, which really reminds me of the story about the condemned who avoided little puddles before being executed. Things like the haircutting, toilet flushing, lights turning, and door closing are not something easy for ordinary screenwriters to come up with.

Another thing I really like about it is the cinematography, especially the sense of film(35mm). I wonder what type of camera they use.

I like the shallow depth of field that creates the deviation, the sense of distance of characters.
I like the shift of characters, especially the character arc of Charlie.
Nicole ordering from the menu for Charlie, another powerful detail.
I like the overlapped lines, such as others' comments on protagonists and the whispers on the court.
One thing that's worth noticed is the monologue made by Nicole's lawyer. This could be a feminist expression(or discussion) made by the director.
After they signed the contract, they both raised their heads. And it comes to the dissolved transition, which I always want to have in my videos.

Making mistakes while closing the closet, powerful a detail.
Coming out of a subway and encountering the flyer sender who wants others to care about animals are nice details, well-designed echoing.
Charlie singing Being Alive, a master-stroke.
The son's dyslexia might be designed to serve the part of the letter reading at the end, also a brilliant echoing.
I like the echoing of the beginning and end.

"Self-fish", "self-sufficient", a joke with complex feelings.
Costumes of the Beatles definitely adds some flavour to this film.

I like the film's score, which contributes to the family's ambience. Mommy phase and Sgt. Pepper Shoelaces are my favourites for the downward marching of chords.
Tying up shoelaces, a final master-stroke.

I always want my videos to include credit part like this(and The Darjeeling Limited).
Netflix produced the two best films in 2019. (Another one is The Irishman by Martin Scorsese)
Competetive nominee for Oscar best original screenplay and best acting.
