There is a lot of Woody Allen, especially in the dialogues, but this does not detract from Noah's good work, on the contrary it enriches him with the typical elements of American divorce drama. And then shooting (metaphorically!) On the pile come to mind Husbands and wives (just to stay in the Alleniano area), The war of the Roses (all the love that turns into hate), Kramer against Kramer (when it's out of the way the son) ... but all the good cinephiles will find it in abundance. But here the difference is the feminine vision that director Baumbach makes of it, entrusting to Johansson (often without make-up and without too much sex appeal) the torment for a decision made and the affirmation, finally, to think about his life without annihilation due to falling in love.
The only discordant note, for a film that is otherwise well packaged, is the singing insert of the protagonist who wants to demonstrate his fragility for the experience he lived in front of his theater company.
A final, entirely subjective consideration: from an actor's point of view, the presence of Adam Driver exceeds all of a head!
