The honesty makes you cringe

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2020)

Scarlett Johansson is so unlikable in this movie but I guess that's the point. Depending on what character you most associate with, you may feel different. Adam Driver gave a fantastic performance as did Laura Dern in a supporting role. All the truth and ugliness behind why some relationships don't work and how complicated that split can be with kids and extended family. There doesn't have to be a big event- someone cheat on the other, gets sick, etc. Sometimes you just grow apart or realize how you've been held back by your relationship. The viciousness of the divorce lawyers is a necessary evil but that doesn't make it any easier to watch.
