A film that will make one feel sad and gloom, still the performances and story is direct and honest.

Rating: 6/10 (9 December 2019)

Just watched "Marriage Story" and this film shows that life and love between a husband and wife can be complicated and painful and it's very hurtful when it has to end. In fact director Noah Baumbach based this on his real life marriage break up. This film is really a strong drama about the going down the drain of a marriage between Nicole(Scarlett Johansson) and Charlie(Adam Driver) and they have a young son named Henry and that makes things even tougher.
The couple split their time between both coast as Charlie wants to stay in New York with his theater productions, and Nicole wants to go stay in sunny L.A. and be a free spirited actress, yet oddly this is the plan and the best way they feel to divorce and uncouple. And the process is tough and raw actually sometimes painful to watch. Enter the wild cards that being the lawyers to help steer thru the rocky waves. Watch Laura Dern shine as a tough yet smart elegant divorce attorney named Nora.
This picture shows how all involved are affected and the damage that a divorce does it's like an ever lasting wound since a kid is involved. The chemistry and acting was great from both Adam and Scarlett yet the wild card was the performance from Laura as she was like a shining queen who sparkled with every take.
