A film that beautifully delves deep on separation

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2019)

Marriage Story is a film that held my attention throughout the running time. No please do not get me wrong, this is NOT a thriller/suspense film, rather a film for every couple/married couple, so easy to relate, and end of it we are left with an incomplete feeling of wanting the couple to reconcile.
The film starts with a monologue from the protagonist, it's a turn off for me and I was skeptical about the film to have all the cliche ingredients to establish the principle characters and the proceedings of this film. Surprisingly the treatment is way matured here, and from thereon the film takes us to their world where we as a viewer relate, decide and analyze every other decision the couple take to separate.
The film obviously drives into 2 perspectives and this eventually builds up the differences/frustrations/confusions among the couple during the course slowly yet steadily without losing grip on the narrative. To add more vigor to the conflict, there are court room sequences wherein the couple realizes that this is getting out of control and this is the point where the characters transform.
Even the inert love for each other is portrayed with such undertones that these characters evolve as real characters and we relate to this particular phase the characters are placed in to.
A film which has fantastic performances by the lead characters, the pacing of the film was very well thought of, since the genre of drama takes a slag during climax to fuse overdose of emotional baggage, that is not the case with Marriage Story. The climax is so subtle and it ends on a proper note retain the journey as realistic as it could get,
Marriage Story - Highly Recommended!!
