Beautiful, hard hitting film! Driver Vs. Phoenix for Oscar

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2020)

I'll keep it short, but this film was something I'd read about before I'd seen it and I knew it would be good and it was better than I expected.
Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, despite playing out a love story that's already ended had such chemistry and played off each other with such grace. Their portrayal of parents who have so this much respect for each other and think they should hate each other and just don't, or can't. It's a tough thing to do, I felt like I was a watching a more entertaining update of Kramer Vs. Kramer. I loved every moment, but the pivotal argument scene that comes in quite late, which was bubbling under the surface for the whole film until it hits you in the face, Driver as Charlie seriously made me cry!
It's going to be a battle for Best Actor at the Oscars between Driver for this and Joaquin Phoenix for Joker. They both deserve to win.
Luckily being a Netflix film, I saw limited run at a cinema not far from home, like with The Irishman and The Two Popes, I did NOT watch them at home. So worth it.
And also my favourite for awards glory! I'll give Netflix this one.
