It reminds me of top Woody Allen sometimes

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2019)

A stage director and an actress fight for a difficult coast-to-coast divorce that brings them to their personal ends.
I was expecting a lot for this movie and was caught off guard when it launched on Netflix. It's very hard for me to be partial in a movie with Adam Driver but I'm doing my best.
I have to start by stressing here that this movie is certainly a movie I'd rather have seen in the movies and I'm not sure why. I saw Irishman at home and unlike this movie I was able to connect a lot more at home but this is probably a problem with me.
This movie is from Noah Baumbach who wrote with Wes Anderson, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, one of my favorite animations. Here he brings a very different movie and without being able to say even a little personal. Its direction is wonderful, with perfect sequential plans, especially with the character of Scarlett Johansson, and a very striking soundtrack. The color palette he used here is very beautiful, with more vivid colors when showing a family moment and more neutral colors when showing the couple fighting or moments of anger.
One of the problems I had with the movie was the lack of charisma of the characters but that is saved by the beautiful performances of the actors.
I have to admit I cried a little. Note 9/10
