Unfortunately, Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (27 June 2020)

Unfortunately, I had read 2 reviews of this film before seeing it. I do my best to avoid (and usually succeed) in avoiding previews. I did so with "Marriage Story". I always want to be surprised. For this film, this was nearly unavoidable. The studio was almost always shoving the film down my throat. Even if they hadn't done this, I had some expectations given the cast and crew. I am a big fan of Ms Johansson, and for a long time. She has very potent acting skills. Regardless, I was drawn into the story from the start of the film. The characters are very believable. Sadly, the script devolves into blandness. This is not the fault of the actors. After about 40 minutes, I simply did not care what would happen next. Overall, I found it forgettable. Better luck next time.
