As potent and real as a story can be

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2020)

I vow to see more Drama films in 2020. Marriage Story surprised me on multiple accounts. Firstly, it solidified my predilection for well-acted drama, which I have been leerily pushing aside for a year now. Secondly, it proved Adam Driver to be the phenomenal actor that I have been told he is, and was unwilling to believe. What a waste of his talent Kylo Ren was! Marriage Story is the first film to make me tear up from sorrow or empathy rather than overwhelming emotion in 2 years. A must watch.
