A Really Magical Film.

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2020)

Review:
'Marriage Story' is a comedy-drama film directed by Noah Baumbach.
This movie was in contention of being my favorite of the year. 'Joker' just slightly edged it's way to be my number one.
The film follows a married couple (Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver) going through a coast-to-coast divorce.
Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson hit it out of the park with these incredible performances. They're great throughout the whole film, but there is a certain scene in this movie that everybody will talk about and it floored me. They way they act towards each other, they have great chemistry. Laura Dern also did a great job, playing a slimeball lawyer who keeps taking Johansson's character into things she doesn't want to do.
The real hero of this story however is Noah Baumbach, who also wrote the film and deserves all the praise. He is a true master in writing and directing. He makes all of it seem effortless, with unprecedented results. He could truly be one of the last true story tellers working today.
Overall, the movie to me is basically flawless. It makes you laugh; it makes you cry; it even makes you feel things you can't identify. It's a heartbreaking story about how two people can love each other, but still know they aren't good for each other.
5/5
