Meh...

Rating: 4/10 (2 May 2020)

It's a good movie, which has it's ups and downs. Let's see the positive aspects (pros):-
1) The acting is excellent. Both Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson were amazing and realistic.
2)That argument scene b/w them and the courtroom scene, where the two lawyers argue were the best
3) It is quite relatable, especially for people like me, whose parents' relationships are not quite good
CONS:-
1) This film is too long or overstretched, slow and boring (except for few scenes)
2) The storyline is totally frustrating. Nicole turns out to be a b***h. She played with her husband's feelings. First, she didn't have sex with him for year, then when charlie sleeps with his co worker, she turns hyperactive, and hacks his computer. The lawyer she hires is also a b***h. Both of them plan a conspiracy to get the custody of the child. The social and emotional manipulation of the child is too annoying.
3) Charlie (Adam driver) is the one who has to suffer throughout. He did committed some mistakes, but his wife didn't even care to either have a discussion or come to an agreement. She simply plays with him. She forced him to move to LA. And the end, what he got, he lost his job in NYC, his company, his money, and most importantly, his child, coz he got only 45 per cent of custody, even through all his sacrifice. Ok, although this is just a story, but it hurts when people are dishonest and call the ending, beautiful and masterpiece. If, that's what american life is, then sorry it's quite weird and disturbing.
4) The law system is completely biased in the US. It's like favouring the women and bashing the men. When i googled it, i found each state has different law, which adds, why nicole moved to LA. It is both sad and laughable at the same time
