Marriage Story
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
Charlie (Adam Driver) is a successful talented avant-garde stage director in New York City. Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) is his wife & actress in his plays. They have a young son Henry. They are having marital problems & she is lured away by a Hollywood TV pilot offer. Director/writer Noah Baumbach has masterfully crafted a realistic, touching, funny, & heartbreaking story about divorce & a marriage falling apart. Driver & Johansson are outstanding as the loving couple who have grown apart & now suffering through a love/hate relationship. It’s all very complicated with a kid caught in the middle. There is always two sides to a story & no one is without fault here. Julie Hagerty is Nicole’s annoyingly enthusiastic mother. Laura Dern, Ray Liotta, & Alan Alda are frightening as the divorce lawyers that will have you cringing & hilariously laughing as they greedily fight for their clients. This film is an emotional thrill ride that no one wants to be on in real life.
Alien gives it 3½ “beware of sharks” stars out of 4.
