Driver and Johansson give two of the best performances of their careers and Noah Baumbach is at his Baumbachiest with dialog, actions, composition, and drama depicted as if it is actually real life. The immersion into the story that direction and those performances create is undeniable. These characters feel like real people. The story never takes a side and drives you to an understanding about the polarity and dissension of the process of divorce.… Expand

Amazing film. Everything is spot on. The performance of Johansson, Driver and Dern are oscar worthy. But that's only because of Baumbach's terrific screenplay and directing.

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

But I thought they were both great in this and it was cool seeing the old faces again like Laura Dern, Alan Alda, Julie Hagerty and Wallace Shawn.

A very moving and funny movie.… Expand

Driver and Johansson without a doubt gave the best performances of their careers. And, I’m pretty sure at the very least Adam Driver secured himself an Oscar nomination. The apartment scene. That is all.

Know going in that this is not a fun movie. It’s very raw and very real and it’s one of the most beautifully horrific films I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend it, but it won’t be for everyone.… Expand

Very meaningful movie that makes you actually think about what is happiness in life and how it should not depend on anyone else but yourself.

It is a beautifully shot movie, with raw dialogues and though it's not nearly as good as "The Squid and the Whale" it still remains a fully enjoyable movie with a tear jerker bittersweet ending. Still it's difficult to empathize with theese characters since they' feel too distant from ordinary people and everyday problems of life. It is a divorce story that involves privileged people that argue for useless and stupid reasons.… Expand

Scarlett Johansson, as usual, is wonderful. Even if you are happily married, you should not miss this.

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.

Bauchman siempre hace estás historias que me encantan y me transmiten tanto visualmente en algunas cinemáticas sin diálogo. Lo adoro.… Expand

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