Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2020)

A startling exploration of marital union, gender roles and our disconnected society as a whole, this 2019 dramatic triumph from writer-director-producer Noah Baumbach boasts the hallmarks of an auteur at the top of his game: raw, emotional performances from expertly-casted actors, simple yet gripping cinematography that pulls few punches, and an understated score which gives us that warm, fuzzy feeling when you reconnect with a sorely missed loved one. The film is equal parts devastating and inspiring as it unravels, rewarding moviegoers on their first or fifth watch with a heartbreaking and hilarious family experience.
9/10 holes punched in the wall.
