Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (24 December 2019)

Oy, what a disappointment is The Marriage Story! I expected some symmetric arch about people falling in love and losing each other, working through all the complexities of parenthood. Yet I found a one-dimensional law suit drama where a weak and egoistic Scarlett Johansson without personality ruins the life of an Adam Driver with a passion for his kid and the arts. The acting was fine but the writing was lazy. He is the only one who we really get to know, so she naturally comes across as a superficial evil coward. Their child is not really worth fighting over either. So many lost opportunities to make this movie worthwhile!
(And right now it scores even higher than the Irishman on IMDb ðŸ™„ðŸ™„ðŸ™„)
