Just a damn good film !

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2019)

What a damn good film !!! Like from top to bottom this is an example of a brilliantly directed and acted film........period ! The most impressive thing to me, personally, is how easy the film is to watch even though the subject matter is so tragic and heart breaking............you genuinely feel for both of them. However that is helped by the incredible acting in this film!
You know a film is good when it even reaches an audience or demographic it isn't intended for............that would be me! Who would have thought that a single/unmarried male in his twenties would really enjoy and like this film? I didn't before seeing it. But the critic reviews and buzz around the film meant it was almost unavoidable with the Oscars coming around soon. I couldn't believe that I'd end up actually like this film let alone really enjoying it. The main reason is because its a human story but you as the audience are watching it from the outside...........so it doesn't necessarily need to be relatable for you to understand or get it. Like this sort of situation is a million miles away from my personally life and at what stage I'm in my life. However even though it wasn't relatable to me in away way shape or form it was just so easy and riveting to watch.
There are three individuals as to why this film works so well. Firstly Noah Baumbach just a brilliantly directed but more impressively written film. There are some really long and dialogue heavy scenes in this film, which must have been a nightmare to do, but it flows so well in the story and the characters portrayed. Oscar nod for both.....probably. Talking of the characters portrayed, Adam Driver and Scarlet Johansson are just both simply incredible!!! There are no others words for them both, you could be witnessing career defining moments for both of them!! Award nods for both of them is a lock..............I would be shocked if they didn't because I think they both deserve to win!! All I'm gonna say is that there is an argument scene.........wow just wow, some incredibly emotional acting.
Overall to be honest I am quite stunned that I ended up really liking this film because this is not my type of genre of film and I am certainly not the demographic for this film. So for those reasons alone there are no excuses as to why anyone shouldn't see this film!! Absolutely brilliant from Noah Baumbach but I think his work is overshadowed by his actors in Driver and Johansson respectively. 80% out of 100 its a really really damn good film that anyone can watch and enjoy!
