Very emotional, realistic and relateable study of a marriage's decay.

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2020)

I came into this movie with very high expectations and was not let down a single bit. Adam Driver gives the performance of his life and the acting is very, very good on Johansson's part aswell. It is a highly emotional and truly depressing study of a marriage's downfall and gives a very realistic and relateable insight into the terrors of divorce and what lengths the system makes you go to in order to protect that which you love.
It presents both sides of the conflict (mother and father) very well and depending on which gender or character you identify most with, their arguments and actions are all very understandable. Personally, being a male and having had a quite shaky relationship with my father, Driver's performance hits really close to home and touches on all the feelings I didn't want, but expected, it to.
A truly great film that has good chances at winning many awards. Hats off to Noah Baumbach, Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson.
