Divorce Story

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2020)

I feel like my reaction to this movie is unfair to what's actually been put to screen. I have heard numerous, respected voices on film saying how phenomenal this was and I think that got to me. I turned this on expecting a masterpiece and when it was all said and done all I could think was "It's good, but not as good as everyone made it out to be."
The performances are all great. Driver and Johanssen together is just a recipe for success to me. The events all felt very real and believable. Everything about this was good. The parts are all solid and yet the sum of them all leaves me feeling underwhelmed.
Definitely going to try revisiting this in the future to give it another chance but for now, it's still a good movie, just not the brilliant bit of filmmaking I'd expected.
