It's not that Marriage Story is completely disinterested in the gender dynamics at play in heterosexual relationships, and the way they reverberate in society at large. But its brief moments of commentary don't translate...

Marriage Story is so raw and emotionally burning that the experience is best savoured alone.
December 18, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… -
What should feel authentic can often feel hokey, sanitized and a fairy-tale of what a divorce could look like if people just got out of their own way.

Noah Baumbach's latest film portrays both sides of a messy divorce, for once.
December 6, 2019 | Full Review… -
At its best, this movie is searing. It pinpoints many of the little talked-about aspects of divorce that seem the least significant but hurt the most.
December 5, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
The movie is 136 minutes, but the recovery period is, well, at least the rest of the night.

Audience Reviews for Marriage Story

Jul 17, 2020Considering the painful subject matter and some truly awful situations the characters find themselves in, I found this movie – for the most part –hilarious and uplifting. People make mistakes, but there is empathy and redemption for them.Letitia L Super Reviewer

Jun 24, 2020I realize this was nominated for awards. BUT. Whoever dreamt up this film was definitely not thinking about "entertainment." It's unnerving when the only comic relief you get in a film so brutal as this is just for one single second out of two hours of emotional bludgeoning, and it's a guy accidentally slicing his arm open. Normally I would never laugh at something like that. It really is unsettling to think that's "funny." I totally surprised myself when I laughed out loud. It's absolutely true that Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver, Laura Dern, Alan Alda, Ray Liotta, and Julie Hagerty give strong performances, and this is a strong movie. I like strong, but strong when it means unrelenting brutalizing of the audience is not for me. What this really could have used is Wally Shawn moments of pure comic relief.Lanning L Super Reviewer

Jun 22, 2020Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson star in the original Netflix drama Marriage Story. Contrary to the title, the film is actually about a bitter divorce; while in marriage counseling Charlie Barber is ambushed with divorce papers and has to scramble to combat his wife's high priced lawyer who's coming after everything. Driver and Johansson give good performances and are backed by a strong supporting cast that includes Laura Dern, Ray Liotta, and Alan Alda. Yet it gets too dark and ugly to enjoy, as the characters just get meaner and more spiteful. Marriage Story takes on some heavy subject material, and it's not pretty.Dann M Super Reviewer
