A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2020)

Shocked to see so many 1 and 3 star reviews here, most of the so called critics here are complaining about Nicole's character that she's a selfish narcissistic woman who makes her ex husband's life miserable but they are missing a point here, marriage story is actually a tale about two flawed characters-Charlie who's a self absorbed man who cares only about himself and nicole, a woman who feels insecure and jealous of her husband's success, the critics here are critical of nicole but they don't realise that Charlie was a careless husband, he cared little of his wife's happiness, he hated his wife's home city for no apparent reason despite the fact that she loved to be there, he honestly didn't care about her, he didn't let her direct in his theatre company and was extremely controlling, slowly she starts loathing him but Charlie instead of correcting his mistakes fucks a woman who works with him, sure nicole had her own baggage but in no way she was responsible for all the problems in their marriage, her decision to stay in la with their child was correct, the child needed a family which only nicole could provide, the screenplay is brilliant and adam driver is terrific in this film, it's arguably the best film netflix has ever made
