Atom User Reviews for Marriage Story
Felt so real, this has been my favorite movie of the year without question. I simply just connected and cared about the people, they felt like real people struggling and couldn’t be better honestly. Very cathartic for me, I just felt so strong about the people on screen and…
Such a great movie. Watching it in theaters was definitely the right choice. The director did such an amazing job with this film.
Good movie if slightly long! Laura Dern is amazing.

At its best, this movie is searing. It pinpoints many of the little talked-about aspects of divorce that seem the least significant but hurt the most. It also eviscerates the practice of Family Law without apology.
How does a small tale of love found and lost emerge as a major triumph and one of the very best movies of the year? Marriage Story is more than just a career high for writer-director Noah Baumbach (The Meyerowitz Stories, The Squid and the Whale); it’s a peerless showcase for its stars, Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, who turn this tale of a contentious divorce into a Kramer vs. Kramer for the 21st century.
Featuring powerhouse performances by Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, Noah Baumbach's divorce drama is a bruising tour-de-force.
