A potentially good mini-series wasted on a feature film

Rating: 6/10 (8 December 2019)

Paradoxically, this movie is both too long and too short for its own good. The unfolding events and pacing lack any urgency from either character for the viewer to feel like any of what's happening actually needs to happen. At the same time, you wish you could see more into the lives and inner psyche of each character as they untangle themselves from their mutual past.
As this is hardly Baumbach's first attempt at storytelling on the subject, it pales to his early work and his joined efforts with actress, screenwriter and partner Gerta Gerwig.
