Review of Marriage Story (2019) by Netflic — 03 Dec 2019

I would rather call this move "Divorce Story": it is more about marriage falling apart that about marriage per se. I was looking forward to watching this film as both critics and audience seem to love it. Plus I like Scarlet Johansson and Adam Driver. Maybe my expectations were a bit too high. Or maybe one to have to live though a diverse themselves to have an empathy. Because I did not have much.

I enjoyed a few episodes but not the movie as a whole. It felt like director-writer's own experience which I am not sure was true. Performance-wise I liked Scarlet's and Laura Dern's but not as much Adam Driver's. His singing was better than his playing but I don't think it was his fault.

Not to say that the movie was not good but the hype is definitely not justified.
