Adam Driver & Scarlet Johansson shine

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2019)

I thoroughly enjoy these actors in the Star Wars and Marvel cinematic universes respectively, but this film shows why they both deserve to be in the conversation when talking about the best actors of this generation. They chew up the scenery, and tell a human story about 2 people trying to survive the end of their relationship, while both forging a new one with each other and their son. It's beautifully acted, directed, and scored. Driver's rendition of 'Being Alive' towards the end of the film tore my heart out, even though I was prepared for it because of previous reviews of the piece.
