Forget Joker. Good movie making is starting with films like this one

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2019)

I am not sure this movie got anything wrong. It is about people, very real people, who do fail to be certain people but the process of failing just makes them so relatable and lovable. Nicole and Charlie are getting a divorce, and you think there will be a good guy and a bad one. But they are both vulnerable and by the end of the day want to do the right thing, and not only the thing that brings them satisfaction. It is not a fist fight but a storm of emotions, emerging waves of the past and rocky mountains of the future.
The acting is very very well executed, here and there a bit too many tears - but as it is about a divorce totally realistic. So is the representation of the ongoing divorce. The music is lovely, I especially loved the ending having musical elements.
There are quite a few inserts of funny elements that takes away from the movie's dramatic tone: like when Charlie cuts himself with that tiny knife, I actually laughed, or when Nora is talking about Jesus and his absent father.
We can all relate to these characters, and parenthood is represented so vividly.
On the technical side it was neatly executed, as well, editing etc.
I couldn't help but seeing a lot of Woody Allen in this movie, mostly because of its wittiness and pace, and the music.
Definitely a watch. I wish there would be more movies like this made out there....
