Real, true, where emotions find their way up in dialogues and feel palpable.

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2019)

It's not about realistic things, but more about realism. All right, all right, let me explain.
Marriage story simply deals with the split of this couple that had very happy years, but now they don't feel as connected as before. The thing with Noah Baumbach is he really likes to tell human stories, stories about an everyday problem that is not necessarily dealt with realistic encounters and dialogues(in a way they perfectly do, but they also thrive from being on a screen and develop their own world), but the general realism of a story like this gets translated through the script and camera. Does that make sense? Does it have a ground? Seriously, i'm sincere right now, i just lack the words, but i hope you get me.
Anyway, this realism really connects with the watchers, you kind of feel inside the story, it' a "well, that could've happened or could happen to me". Of course you draw your mentality from there and you feel you could handled that situation better than the characters, but it's not about that, you don't know it because the emotions of this characters are real, palpable, almost like if events and reactions like that really happened and were simply recorded like a documentary, but highlighted. We're very very different, we don't all express our feelings the same way, that's why it differs from each individual. What i'm trying to say is that it's a relatable story, but still made for entertainment and i love that.
Going more technical, Driver and Johansson are MAGNIFICENT, at the prime of their talent. Writing, direction and production overall, it's all up there and if i didn't make myself clear, it's a top notch work, the really embodied the spirit of this story. Oscar worthy? Hell yes, everything about this movie is good, i honestly can't see anything wrong with it, at first i was afraid of some forced dramatic acting, but, well maybe there is, but it definitely doesn't take anything out of the story and overall quality.
In so many categories this movie excels, can't just pick one. Also, i've just realised now it was over 2 hours, they flew away.
