"Marriage Story" is powerful and triumphant.

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2019)

"Marriage Story" is one of those films that will leave a scar. A tough, draining and powerfully acted family drama, that ranks among the years best films.
.
In this drama, a married couple go through a coast-to-coast divorce while still trying to remain a family for their young son.
.
Writer/director Noah Baumbach has always payed close attention to detail and in "Marriage Story" you'll find him searching for everything. Whether it may be closure, love, loss or divorce, this drama will affect you in some way. It's a beautiful piece of cinema. Scarlett Johansson is utterly sublime in a career best performance, while Adam Driver keeps on delivering and becoming an incredible actor. Laura Dern, Ray Liotta and the great Alan Alda all give fantastic supporting performances. Over the period of two hours and fifteen minutes, you see the decline in the two main characters and it is simply heartbreaking to the point where your stomach will be in knots. The "living room" scene is some of the most powerful and raw acting I've seen in a long while. It's safe to say that Baumbach has delivered one of his best films. Stream it now and see for yourself.
