This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A veces me siento como si estuviera viendo Clic o algo así, pero si acaba en algo como que se reconcilien por su hijo y que no apunte a eso de competir uno contra el otro por ver quién tiene más la razón, lo cual sería entretenido y cómico.
Los aspectos cotidianos y con movimiento, me encantan. Las actuaciones y diálogos son tan entretenidos.
Hay una escena en el metro en donde un barrote los divide casualmente en dos posturas diferentes de la pantalla. Es como si cada protagonista tuviera su propio plano o característica visual, así como el ambiente. Además lo divide en escenas con ese fade outs desvaneciente.

As much as I love Joaquin Phoenix's performance in Joker, Adam Driver should have won Best Actor for this that year.

The now iconic fight is the movie's centerpiece, both Scarlett and Driver are at their best and truly shows how easily love can sour. It's easy to pick a side but I don't think it's the point, the point is that there is no good side ,divorce is a civil war.

Everything feels real (almost like "raw"). The authenticity is underscored by the grandiose spectacle, actually all those involved, but above all by Scarlett Johansson and even better Adam Driver.

Lifelong tragic comedy, especially the sober dealing with the consequences of a divorce dispute and the whole beginnings of it, including the machinery behind it, especially the common practice in the USA, illustrates the drama behind it all.

Ultimately, there is hardly anything wrong with this film, maybe only that it could have been a little shorter in two places.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marriage Story offers an inside look into the story of a struggling couple (they do separate) and messy divorce. Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson both give probably their best performances probably ever. Everyone does pretty dang well with what they're are given in terms of screen time (especially Laura Dern). The only weak spot when it comes to performances is the child actor; I'm willing to shrug off the below-average performance since it's just a kid. When it comes to cinematography Robbie Ryan (D.O.P) does a fantastic job. To be honest, I have a major soft spot for the score in Marriage Story since it was done by the amazing Randy Newman (Toystory, Monsters Inc, Cars, etc.). Randy is a able to masterfully set and change the tone of each scene. Now for the best part of this movie, Noah Baumbach. Noah Baumbach is able to create an amazing screenplay here; He is able to masterfully weave Charlie and Nicole's stories and perspectives together so that you can sympathize and care for both characters. The dialogue in this film is so well done (as you would expect from Noah). It is a good mix of realistic, but still interesting. All in all, there's a lot that went into making this film, and you can tell everyone not only did their part but executed it masterfully.

Sidenote:
I like how in the end they seem closer to each other(not in a romantic way) even though they separated.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great film. Brutal to watch. I cried. Overall I wasn't sure who was the "bad guy" because there were times when I didn't like Scarlett Johansson's character at all. I found myself feeling bad for Adam Driver's character more than I wanted to. I got the message loud and clear that she always took care of both her son and her husband, nothing new with this dynamic. And yes, she'd made sacrifices for his career, also nothing new. But the husband made some valid points during their big blowout that made me really think. We all make our own choices, and we can't really be mad at another person for the choices we make voluntarily. By the end, I found the movie cathartic. What was the saddest, most frustrating part for me was that their relationship seemed to fall apart more because the wife didn't make her needs clear enough to her husband. Seems like much of the lawyer crap could have been avoided if they'd just communicated better, but without those lawyers we wouldn't have a movie or the great performances of Laura Dern and Ray Liotta. Definitely worth watching especially if you are married with kids.… Expand

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to put myself through the no-doubt emotional ringer of Baumbach’s story of the dissolution of a marriage. It was a hard film, but a damned fine one. It had an honest script that only a few times felt like it wasn’t truly drawn from life – mostly when we get speeches. I think I’m the only one who didn’t care for Laura Dern’s Mary/motherhood speech. Took me out of the naturalness in everything else. Adam Driver and ScarJo where wholly believable. And screw Ray Liotta’s character. That guy ruined everything, as I honestly cared for both of our leads. While I feel the movie is more in Charlie’s side, the film is mostly balanced as not not be good-guy/bad-guy and important as through everything Charlie and Nicole love each other and that’s important.

Despite its annoyingly vague title, Marriage Story is actually about a divorce. On one level writer-director Noah Baumbach’s latest film feels like a divorce procedural. We follow a young attractive couple (Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver)Despite its annoyingly vague title, Marriage Story is actually about a divorce. On one level writer-director Noah Baumbach’s latest film feels like a divorce procedural. We follow a young attractive couple (Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver) as they agree to keep things simple and not involve lawyers, then involve lawyers, begin a custody battle, and try to navigate all of the emotional and legal complexities of legally dissolving a marriage. On another level, Marriage Story is a showcase of brilliant performances ranging from subtle to ostentatious, comical to moving. I enjoyed Marriage Story far more than I expected though I hesitate to recommend it since very few people (myself included) are able to have a good time by watching people argue and get divorced for over two hours. The divorce gets rocky but the film doesn’t so much and if you are in the right mood for a relationship/divorce drama you’ll find a decent, somehow, feel good movie.

This is the kind of movie that hangs entirely on its performances. Fortunately, the leads and supporting players all turn in strong performances. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver have both earned Oscar nominations for their performances as the wife and husband seeking to uncouple themselves while remaining involved with their eight-year-old son and maintaining their careers. Both earn and lose and then earn back your sympathy. Charlie (Driver) is a successful New York theater director whose latest avant-garde production is headed to Broadway. Nicole (Johansson) once starred in a popular Hollywood movie but since meeting and marrying Charlie has committed herself to the stage. A Los Angeles native, Nicole has always wanted to spend more time on the West Coast and now has landed a role in a pilot that will likely become a series. Charlie thinks of them as a New York family and expects Nicole and their son to move back to New York once the pilot is done. When Nicole decides to officially file for divorce the real conflict between them begins.

Baumbach’s script does not overtly take sides though it leans toward Charlie, especially toward the end of the film. The explosive climatic argument between Nicole and Charlie gives a chance for both actors to express intense emotions, but it is Driver who gets to let out overwhelming pathos. A court appointed observer—played with welcome awkward comic deadpan by Martha Kelly—is assigned to visit and interview both parents, but we only see the visit Charlie. Charlie does his best to present as an ideal father before the visit falls into dark comedy. In a wonderfully delivered monologue early in the film, Nicole gives us her backstory, both life events and emotional. After this scene the perspective shifts to Charlie and never really shifts back to Nicole. We are as blindsided as Charlie is by claims on money and custody by Nicole’s lawyer.

Nora, Nicole’s flashy and smoothly confident high-powered lawyer, is played with impressive ease by Laura Dern, who has earned a Best Supporting Actress nomination. We’re just as charmed and dazzled by her as Nicole, and just as stung by her as Charlie. Alan Alda delivers some great low-key comedy as Charlie’s first divorce lawyer. He’s old enough that his hands shake but also old enough to know how bad a divorce can get, and how it will likely end, so, he recommends just starting there. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is Ray Liotta as Charlie second divorce lawyer, a high powered and extremely expensive pit-bull. He speaks with such speed and ridiculous intensity that he can’t help but be funny and believable as a ruthless lawyer. Julie Hagerty is a welcome presence as Nicole’s actress mother. She has so much flighty warmth that she secretly helps Charlie find a divorce lawyer.

I’m sure certain viewers that have been through a divorce or even a bad breakup will find something relatable with the characters and situation in Marriage Story. I wouldn’t be surprised if other viewers find these characters and their situation unrelatable. Nicole and Charlie, though not wealthy, are in a very upper middle class bracket. They are so accomplished that momentous life changing events like landing a starring role in a TV show and earning an Emmy nomination for directing (Nicole) and winning a MacArthur “genius” grant (Charlie) are just background plot points. Whether you can relate or not, the performances from Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver are of such a rare quality as to keep you invested in their emotional journey.… Expand

It’s really well-acted, the writing is excellent and the story is engaging. It deals with some pretty tough subject matter, it’s about a couple going through a divorce, but it also has light moments of comedy. It feels very realistic. It’s also really well-shot and well-edited. This is one of those rare movies where there really isn’t anything bad about it at all. Well, maybe the score is a little weird and distracting sometimes. It’s composed by Randy Newman and sounds right out of a Pixar movie. Wallace Shawn of The Incredibles and Toy Story fame is even in it. It seems out-of-place sometimes, but the rest of the movie is so good I think I can overlook it. Overall, this movie is a must-see and I hope it wins some Oscars!… Expand

Yet another movie featuring a filmmaker baring their soul for the audience to celebrate, lament and understand, Noah Baumbach's "Marriage Story" follows in the footsteps of movies like "Lady Bird," "Roma" and the very recent "Honey Boy" inYet another movie featuring a filmmaker baring their soul for the audience to celebrate, lament and understand, Noah Baumbach's "Marriage Story" follows in the footsteps of movies like "Lady Bird," "Roma" and the very recent "Honey Boy" in that it's not just an undeniably personal exercise. It's also a supremely well-executed artistic experience on a structural, dramatic, thematic, and technical level. It's rare to have a film operate so meticulously in its characterization process, yet remain so fascinating and emotionally impressive. In many other films, you'd label it a potential issue to have your average scene length be somewhere between 7-10 minutes, and to have most of those scenes involve characters simply talking to one another. But these are very carefully constructed moments of build-up, allowing the audience to breathe these characters in and empathize with every action taken and word spoken, no matter how hurtful or diabolical it may seem on the surface. At the end of the proverbial day, we find we're dealing with nuanced human beings trying desperately to navigate their respective ways through a tragic phase of existence (a kind of death, as the movie so aptly puts it). It's sad, heartwarming, brilliant, and earnest -- an experience I know I'll carry with me for some time.… Expand

Superb acting, excellent writing and a very realistic sense of sadness and desperation. Really reminded me of my parents divorcing when I was a kid, filling me with both sadness and relief when it was over.

The directing, cinematography and overall presentation are fine but it's a very entertaining and well written story, with complex and realistic characters with both pros and flaws that will make almost impossible to see who is the "hero" and who is the "villain". This is not a movie about two people yelling at each other it's much more than that. To make it short: Brilliant writing, brilliant characters, entertaining story and masterful performances. The only thing I didn't like as much is the score. I mean, the score is not bad but sometimes I think it didn't fit the movie. Without context, the score itself is amazing but when it's played during the movie I couldn't stop thinking about Toy Story.

Overall, I highly recommend it.… Expand

It also is thought provoking look into the ugliness of a divorce. Still, I thought the ending was a bit cheesy and lacked nuance. A random change of heart.

The plot is simple, but that doesn't really hold the film back. My only complaint is that both characters are so financially successful that the money doesn't really come into the picture, except for a few lines where Driver complains about how much money he's spending on his lawyers.

Sinopsis:

Un director de teatro y su mujer, actriz, luchan por superar un divorcio que les lleva al extremo tanto en lo personal como en lo creativo.

Mi opinión:

Fácilmente es una de las mejores películas del año, creo que muestra una realidad mas cruda de lo que parece, el divorcio y como este afecta al ya disuelto matrimonio como a la familia e hijos de este y como el dúo protagonista quiere llevar todo en buenos términos sin lastimar al otro y a su hijo es magníficamente emotivo y empático.

Scarlett Johansson y Adam Driver se lucen con sus crudas y excelentes actuaciones, dignos de ser nominados y premiados por la Academia, varias de las escenas que ambos comparten en solitario me hicieron derramar lágrimas por lo crudas y reales que se sienten, quizás seré muy sensible, pero realmente sentí verdadera empatía por ambos personajes.

It never really feels rushed with individual scenes, but to make that possible, important background details are glossed over and so are the characters. The characters aren't especially generic, but still somewhat shallow and predictable. The plot certainly offers some surprises, but is also mostly predictable for someone familiar with divorce outside of a fictitious context. Ultimately, the movie is thin in terms of portraying the course of a marriage and divorce, but there's something to be said for its success on that front given the run time. The movie has its surprising moments of humor as well, but that's important because even with humor, I came out feeling more pessimistic about marriage, relationships, and people. But this movie didn't opt for the feel-good, sugar-coated route like most movies of this type do. It argues that things aren't really ever going to be black-and-white and doesn't give us one answer to the issues explored in the movie because there isn't.… Expand

Way more realistic, captivating, gut-wrenching and well paced than say, The Irishman, for example. That film was a nice piece of rich storytelling, slightly over-indulgent in its duration, but Marriage Story just resonated with me more. To be honest, I don’t think 2019 has been a great year for film. Preferred last year’s releases (Roma, The Favourite, A Star Is Born, Green Book, etc) I’m hoping on this Marriage Story winning big at the Oscars. It’s superbly acted, that conflict scene at around 1:30hr in to the film was top class. Excellent writing, directing, and yes, the ending was a beautiful end to the journey witnessed onscreen. I don’t get how anyone couldn’t like it, but then again, I found the ending to The Sopranos and Breaking Bad great. Both are polarising endings.… Expand

Adam Driver is phenomenal. Most people know himWow. What a great story about relationships and the beginnings and endings of them. Marriage Story is a flawless, heartbreaking story led by two of some of the best performances of the year. Adam Driver is phenomenal. Most people know him from the new Star Wars Trilogy but people should really see some of his other films. He usually does a great job but in this film, he is 100% dedicated to the role. They are certain scenes in the film where it doesn’t feel like he is acting. It feels as if he is actually this character and going through all of these troubles. He puts so much emotion into his performance that it is heartbreaking yet mesmerizing. Scarlett Johansson gives yet again another fantastic performance. While her performance isn’t as mesmerizing as Driver’s performance, it’s still perfect. She also conveys a huge amount of emotion with her role but adds a slightly more comedic and relaxed atmosphere to Driver’s serious and hardworking atmosphere. Both actors play off each other perfectly, even in scenes where their characters are fighting with each other. Every other performance in the film is pretty great, especially from Laura Dern. The script for Marriage Story is fantastic. It compliments the performances and feels very natural. It knows how much the characters need to say to get a point across or when to restrict them. The music and cinematography are great. The music is done by Randy Newman (Toy Story) and fits the depressing tone the film is going for. The film makes the good choice of not using music during certain dramatic scenes which helps make those scenes more emotional. The cinematography isn’t groundbreaking by any means but there are a lot of beautiful shots. Towards the beginning of the movie, there is a 5 minute uncut shot of Scarlett Johansson talking about why she stopped being in love with Adam Driver’s character and it’s great. There is one sequence in the film that is perfectly shot, acted, and scripted and it’s the argument scene. I felt sad and a smidge emotional for the characters throughout the film but this one scene made me feel a whole lot. It’s one of the best scenes in cinema this year. Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson completely disappear in this scene. It doesn’t feel like acting. It feels like the filmmakers just filmed real people breaking apart. The emotion displayed in this one scene is off the charts. It cemented for me that Adam Driver is a masterclass actor that people should pay more attention to besides being known as “the guy from Star Wars”. The rest of the film has its emotional moments but they don’t top that scene. The film’s plot is pretty straightforward but the way the characters interact makes the film feel unpredictable. Noah Baumbach used his direction to make a straightforward story feel unique. I’m going to start paying more attention to Baumbach from here on out. Overall, Marriage Story is a fantastic film about relationships and divorce with some of the best performances of the year, an outstanding screenplay, unique direction, and some great cinematography and music.… Expand

This movie gave me the feelings of divorce and stubbornness that I have not went through yet in my life but I could see and feel so clearly in the movie. The characters played by Scarlett and Adam seemed perfect couple at first glance, then you dive into the relationship and see the cracks within. Throughout the movie I felt for Adams's character most of the time, feeling like Scarlett's just wanted to run away from a great family life in NY. After seeing her point of view and her family situations, I could totally understand why she felt so entrapped and needed to spread her wings and make decisions because she wanted to and wanted to feel in control. The ending makes it all feel so streamlined and connects back with the start of the film in a good way showing that maybe if she read her letter, all of this could of been fixed. The acting is what makes this movie and I have to say that is some of the best acting Ive seen in the big fight scene between the ex-couple. Great movie that makes you feel what the characters are feeling throughout the movie without saying it word for word explaining the emotions.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The performances of the two leads in this film are virtuosic. We've always known ScarJo is an excellent actress but I think this is her peak so far. Many times the actors portray the subtext of a conversation or half-hidden feelings in a more true-to-life manner than I've seen almost anywhere else; so that we feel as though we are on the titanic, watching an iceberg emerge from the darkness with dread inevitability. When those feelings do come to the surface, it is with simultaneous relief and crushing loss.

I often found myself thinking that the marriage could have been saved and that is why this only gets a 9. I wasn't sold on the idea that their marriage was that bad. This is either the fault of the writer for not conveying the misery of the marriage (although one could argue that this is outside the scope of the film, and the viewer is simply to take this for granted), or due to the selfishness of either one or both of the characters. The fact that I don't know which of these is the cause is either a minor stroke of genius or a minor annoyance, hence the -1. Being a romantic, I found the film quite wrenching. I recommend it to all who enjoy good acting and being put through the wringer. Some films hurt-so-good, but this one kinda just hurts.… Expand

When she gets an offer to work in LA, it makes their impending separation much more stressful. There's more focus on the husband, perhaps because his situation is more disruptive or because writer/director Noah Baumbach based this on his own experience. As a result, Driver is given the bulk of the heavy lifting and his character's dilemma (and his performance) is absolutely heart breaking. Johansson also does a fine job, along with a wonderful supporting cast, esp. Laura Dern and Alan Alda. It's good that they both play their attorneys, because the legal angles tend to drag down the emotional development. As their young son, Azhy Robertson is exceptionally natural. The film is slightly longer than it needed to be, but the subtle, excellent performances and Baumbach's skilled observations combine to create an affecting examination of the pains of divorce.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never seen such an enduring and beautiful film, since Kramer vs. Kramer and A Separation on divorce drama. Everything about MS is breathtaking, the film is as perfect as it can come close to anything being perfect. A job well done by all of the crew - directing, acting, writing, music, and technical aspects of MS is just matchless, Noah has topped Woody Allen on such films.… Expand

"Marriage story" is a true description of married life is all about, the good parts and bad ones alike, Noah Baumbach the director is a master at capturing dialogues realistically and naturally, thus helping the narrative to have a sort of"Marriage story" is a true description of married life is all about, the good parts and bad ones alike, Noah Baumbach the director is a master at capturing dialogues realistically and naturally, thus helping the narrative to have a sort of essence that's very undeniable and very gripping, the words just flow effortlessly in a way that makes you so invested in what's being said, there's waste in scenes, everything means something and ultimately affects the surroundings, very much like life itself, it is extremely refreshing to be a witness of that. Having said all of that, the story itself is very poignant and it feels like that as well, as we are presented with a situation no one wants to be in, it's a back and forth of pain and pleasure that goes a long way at times, "Johanson" opposite "Driver" is a sight to behold, their interactions are pure and honest but more importantly real, you don't get to take sides in their problem as well as they both make a good case and put forth good arguments to their difficulties, one other thing I noticed is that it invites you to understand but never forces you to accept it in any way, all of this comes together to describe or at least try to understand the intricacies of a loving marriage. After the credit rolled out, I found myself clapping at the screen almost involuntary, it sparked a reaction out of me, arguably Johanson and Driver best performances to date and I hope they get rewarded for it, This is original filmmaking at its finest, outstanding and brilliant film and I very much loved it.… Expand

While some have somewhat correctly said that this film covers ground that's been addressed before and that it occasionally tends to play like both a therapy session and a legal consult, writer-director Noah Baumbach's latest neverthelessWhile some have somewhat correctly said that this film covers ground that's been addressed before and that it occasionally tends to play like both a therapy session and a legal consult, writer-director Noah Baumbach's latest nevertheless offers viewers an engaging mix of heartache and humor, showing the pain and utter absurdity that goes into the dissolution of a marriage. The truly superb ensemble cast, with excellent performances by Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver, Ray Liotta, Julie Hagerty, Alan Alda and, especially, Laura Dern, coupled with a razor-sharp script, makes for a dynamite combination that reaches out, grabs and holds audience attention from beginning to end. Arguably Baumbach's best film, this offering is more than deserving of all the praise that it has rightfully had heaped upon it. You'll laugh, you might cry and you'll definitely feel the heart strings tugged with this one, but the picture assuredly earns the reactions it evokes. Go see it in the theater or catch it on Netflix.… Expand
