Review of Marriage Story (2019) by Riordanpett — 15 Dec 2019
Best film I’ve seen in a while and my favourite from 2019 so far. 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.
