But I know you are into these movies so maybe for you it will be worth the big screen.

Most movies about a divorce show a couple who have grown to hate each other. If, at the end of the movie, they're at peace, it's usually because they've decided to put aside their differences and do what's best for their child(ren); not because they've really tried to solve their issues. MARRIAGE STORY puts an original twist on that. At first, CHARLIE & NICOLE BARBER do their best to be civilized. Certain circumstances create a tension between them that evolves into hatred. It's very realistic and relatable. This is somehow more terryfing than most horror movies I've seen recently. It makes the viewer think "I used to believe that I'd be the bigger person, but now I see that anyone can be changed in a situation like this." It looks like the plot will follow the same structure as always. However, when they eventually yell at each other, it's not really the sign of an end, but rather a beginning. It's not about throwing crap at each other for the sake of it; it's about getting everything out of their chest. After that, they don't get back together, but they do go back to that peaceful place. Noah Baumbach is known for comedies that have some drama in them. This is a drama with some comedy in it. I wished it had been mainly a drama, because: A) It's a compelling (and well-acted) one; and B) Noah is one of many indie directors who forcefully tries to bring humor out of something that really isn't funny in order to seem offbeat. He just doesn't do it as often as others, because a lot of moments in this movie are genuinely funny. There are a few times where the editing makes a scene feel intense or a wide shot hightlights the drama or comedy of a scene, but they're exceptions. Overall, the visual presentation is very standard. Wait. Is this going to turn into a debate about cinemas vs staying at home? Look, I already knew the kind of movie this was and I still chose not to wait for the Netflix release. I can't tell you what to do, but I encourage you to buy movie tickets any chance you get. Randy Newman's music score feels out of place. I can't tell if it's done on purpose or not, considering the quirky feel of the movie, but it's not an excuse. 7/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.

Incredible movie. I'm not someone who gets emotional at movies a lot, but I teared up multiple times during Marriage Story, one time even so much that I would basically call it crying instead of tearing up. Driver and Johansson are unbelievably good. I still have to see many award movies like The Irishman, 1917, Uncut Gems, The Lighthouse etc., but were it not for Parasite, this would've been my #1 of the year atm.

Yep, the 'one time' in the original post refers to the end when the son reads the letter, such a great scene. And yes, I also agree that this movie really showcases how evil lawyers are, at least the big lawyer world. I think the movie also showed that there are lawyers that actually care about you as people (Charlie's first lawyer), but just shows how screwed up the world is that in the end you always have to go to the more inhumane lawyers if you really want to get something done.

That’s why I dislike so many lawyers because I seem them just cocreate drama and then rake in the big bucks, in situation where the whole thing was solvable otherwise had they not been greedy and drama creating in the first place. I think this movie did a great job highlighting how rotten that system is, where in the end the lawyers get more rich and their clients lose their houses over decisions and situations that could have entirely avoided had lawyers not escalated it.

I have not seen it yet but I saw the argument scene on YouTube and thought it was the most unintentionally hilarious thing ever. I don’t care that i saw it out of context, the acting from both parties were cringe worthy, as was the dialogue. It’s so hard to take a angry Adam Driver seriously, especially when he’s hitting the wall with the force of a little girl.

I wasnt as impressed by the acting in that scene as I was by it being a single take. That must have been difficult. Also you will view the scene differently in the context of the whole mvoue.

its really really good. Have you seen it yet? The actors do an amazing job and both deserve the Oscar buzz thats buzzing around this movie. I can see more and more Netflix movies becoming Oscar bait and they will rarely get much theater time. Movies made for Netflix should have their own awards show. but what do you mean ny “made for netflix”. do you mean financed by netflix or somehow having more tv than cinematic feel? because this movie did have more of a cinematic feel. same like the irishman. i honestly couldnt believe Irishman didnt get a wide release... why should thet have separate awards?

Personally I don't think it should matter how the movie was released at all, a movie is a movie. I even think the whole 7 days in theaters rule is unnecessary. I always considered the oscars to be about the greatest accomplishments in film of the year. And I don't think it should matter if it was released in theaters, on streaming, straight to dvd or whatever, as long as it's released as a feature length film I think it counts as a movie and therefore should be eligible for Best Picture.
I get that the main reasoning against Netflix competing is that people want to keep the 'going to the cinema' experience alive, but I think the 2 can co-exist just fine. I don't feel like people are less enthusiastic about going to the cinema because of some movies being released on streaming. And streaming gives certain risky projects, that wouldn't be made before streaming, a platform and a source for funding (Annihilation comes to mind). I do agree that Netflix and the theater chains should work out something that allows Netflix movies to play in more cinemas if people want to see it on the big screen, but as more and more acclaimed Netflix movies are released I'm confident they'll figure something out.

its problematic to me because it takes away, community, tradition and an experience.

I watched The Irishman and still trying to make time to see Harriet, Good Liar, and Queen and Slim. To me, Harriet is the best of them. I viewed it three times and the movie kept growing on me—I originally considered it "pretty good," meaning above-average, but I ultimately deemed the film "good/very good." It proved quite engrossing and atmospheric thanks to its impressive cinematography (which combines deft lighting and composition in outdoor settings) and sound mixing, which is undeniably Oscar worthy. Harriet also offers some impressive dialogue, including poetic soliloquy, and some racial ideas and realities that transcend the usual white-black binary. The Good Liar is "good," while Queen & Slim is "mediocre"—I will address those films later in the already-existing threads for them. I will do the same for The Irishman, which I found "pretty good/good"—a flawed film that finally finds itself with a haunting third act, especially the climax and coda.

I agree with you. The Oscars are being desperate though and are wanting as much as a look in as possible due to revenue generated though advertising for the ceremony. Even with the Netflix film cinema runs, most people interested will be waiting for them to come on Netflix so most won't bother to go. It is using and negating the cinema process of distribution and exhibition. Cinema run films would have to wait several months I would say before being screened on Netflix and of course a few before being released on dvd, so Netflix movies that want to vie for Oscars, should not screen several months until after its cinema run. My problem with this Netflix distribution model pertains more to the limited theatrical runs. Some other movies are hitting DVD just about as soon as their theatrical runs end ( Joker, for instance), but at least those runs are longer, more conventional. The Netflix paradigm, conversely, seems too tokenistic and cheaply self-serving.
