Kyndall Cunningham

Bitch Media

It's not that Marriage Story is completely disinterested in the gender dynamics at play in heterosexual relationships, and the way they reverberate in society at large. But its brief moments of commentary don't translate...

Marriage Story is so raw and emotionally burning that the experience is best savoured alone.

What should feel authentic can often feel hokey, sanitized and a fairy-tale of what a divorce could look like if people just got out of their own way.

Here’s director Noah Baumbach at his usual best, lending a levelheaded perspective on a love on the rocks and the unnecessary vitriol born out of a couple’s disappointments and frustrations.

Rated: 4.5/5

Pop Culture Reviews

Director Noah Baumbach captures a marriage life cycle in all its phases with such emotion and detail, almost as if he has a personal connection to the experience. Whatever the case, it has led to his best work to date.

Wayne F Good story telling with very good acting. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/20 Full Review Happiness VERY CHEEZY and a big snooze. ALtho Scarlett J. was not as sexualized as she usually is (relief) she still is lesser character with Adam Driver being the lead role on more than a few levels. Meaning, yes, its still sexist, and annoyingly so. Sentimental, cheezy and way too long. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/20 Full Review Jane Superb acting by Adam Driver. Very human story. Avoided cliche ending. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/27/19 Full Review Norman M W Incredible acting, searingly honest, painful, sad, intensely real. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/19 Full Review Jonathan B Performances of the 2 leads Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/16/19 Full Review RM The acting was terrific and it felt very real. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/19 Full Review Read all reviews
