Black Widow meets Kylo Ren

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2019)

In the past few years, Netflix has been turning out some fine movies: Roma, The Irishman, and now Marriage Story. This latest one focuses on the effects that a divorce has on a family. Having never been through a divorce, I can't fully relate to it, but the strength of the characters and editing makes up for that. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver put all their effort into the roles of a separated husband and wife in a tense battle over their son. The movie's slow pace allows enough time to let the characters develop, and these are complex characters.
It might not be the greatest movie of all time, but it's an effective one, and I recommend it. The rest of the cast includes Julie Hagerty (Airplane!) and Wallace Shawn (My Dinner with Andre).
