Capturing feeling I didn't know were possible

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2019)

Where do I start. Well, I loved the movie. I had been hearing such good reviews on it that I ended up making a Netflix account just to watch it. Every single scene in this movie is necessary for the plot. The writers depicted the characters perfectly, showing not only their strengths but their flaws. I have never had an experience with this kind of pain in my life and yet I was brought to tears by the story. Adam Drivers performance is unmatched. He does an phenomenal job portraying the internal conflict Charlie feels throughout the whole process. He is trying to stay strong in front of his family but is just being broken down. Scarlet Johansson does the same thing. Showing how Nicole is learning from her experience and becoming more independent. Where these two sides are most perfectly shown is in the fight scene. It felt so real, not like I was watching a movie but that I was glimpsing into peoples actual lives. That I was their living that same pain with the characters. It is suffice to say that I believe both actors deserve a Oscure along with the director and writing team.
