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. |

What was this? Kramer vs. Kramer version 2.0 uhhhh what now?. I presume he's mimicking a recurring complaint that the film is thematically similar to Kramer vs. Kramer. That's not always a bad thing. Gladiator was the same movie as The Fall of the Roman Empire, just an hour shorter.
