ChuckFlixs: Marriage StoryBy Chuck VanHooseDecember 31, 2019
This is a fantastic movie staring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. They play a married couple who go through a grueling coast to coast divorce. This will be one of my favorite movies of the year.
Positives
I loved the chemistry between Driver and Johansson. I felt like I was watching a real marriage fall apart. The depth that both of them went to was great. I feel like Scarlett used her real life divorce and custody battle during her performance.
It was hard to pick a side in this movie. Both of them gave reasons they in favor and against their reasons to win the custody battle.
Middle of the road
The actress who played Johanssons’s mother was okay. She didn’t do a bad job but I found her character annoying at times.
Azhy Robertson played their child and he did an okay job. He wasn’t given a lot to work with. His performance didn’t make me say I have to see this kid in more movies immediately. However, his performance won’t keep me from watching future movies that he will be in.
The pacing of the film will bother some people but I didn’t have a problem with it.
Negatives
The only characters I didn’t like were the lawyers. But I think that was supposed to be the point of them.
Rating: 9.2/10
