Powerful and realistic depiction of a struggling marriage

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2019)

The plot, dialogue, and acting are all extremely nuanced. Driver and Johansson deliver the best dramatic performances of their career, and Baumbach's writing has matured significantly since The Squid and the Whale (which I also enjoyed). The movie is dialogue heavy but I was glued to the screen for the entire performance and the two hours flew by too fast. Whether you have been directly affected by divorce or not, this movie is a wonderful microcosm of the human experience.
