Mr. Baumbach, you owe me 136 minutes.

Jeeze, Louise! Yup, I'm aware that this Drecktor...oops...Director...is supposed to be The Greatest Thing Since The Talkies, but he was never "My Cuppa" (still trying to figure-out "The Squid and The Whale"), and "Marriage Story" did nothing to convince me otherwise!
Why? Because:
1. It's too too-long (2H16M);
The main characters are really one-dimensional;
It's about banal First-World Problems;
AND all those other faults mentioned in the one- to five star reviews on this site.
Yes, the acting is good(ish), especially in that over-the-top screaming-match, but the story line, to quote Yul Brynner, "is a puzzlement!". Driver's character is supposed to be a cash-strapped avant-garde NYC theater director who somehow has the $$$ to constantly fly NY- L.A.-NY and to afford lawyers who charge $25K retainers and to rent a spacious apartment in L.A.
And, at the end of this two-hour slog, there's Driver's character in a Karaoke Bar singing "Being Alive" (from Stephen Sondheim's "Company"). The director may have had his reasons, but that scene left ME more-dead-than-alive...as did this entire film.
