There is so much to appreciate and love about Marriage Story: the acting is perfect, the cinematography is beautiful, and the script is great. for two hours, I was constantly vacillating between who's side I was on and Noah Baumbach made is incredibly difficult as both leads were incredibly well developed and believable characters that have so many glaring flaws yet we are never given all of the answers. We see actions, but we don't always receive clear visions of intentions. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver are incredible in their roles and Baumbach's script flows and feels so real. Marriage story is often simultaneously hard to watch and fully enthralling. The only issue I have with the script is that Laura Dern's character just doesn't feel authentic. Dern does a great job with what she's given, but her character is the only one that I wasn't buying wholesale; she's far too dramatic and over the top for such a grounded movie. There are also a few scenes that feel equally over-dramatic or unrealistic, but I think it was supposed to feel like a stage play at those parts or at least remind us of them. There are too many scenes were suddenly a character is alone or is talking at a normal volume and no one acknowledges them. If that was the intention, I can understand the allusion, but I hated it. Everything feels so real and serious and then we get hit with these kinds of scenes that just come off as goofy. Part of me was just waiting for the lights to dim and Driver to start his third wall breaking monologue to the audience. I haven't seen another Baumbach movie (and looking at his filmography, I'm not surprised), so I don't know if this is just one of his "things" or not, but it really killed the immersion for me. I don't want to be reminded that I'm watching a movie, especially in such a brutal and emotional film.
