2. Marriage Story
I have to confess I have a very soft spot for Baumbach’s
films, I love his work!! This film comes to prove that he is reaching his best years
he is delivering this masterpiece.
Inspired “The Meyerowitz Stories”, Baumbach returns to
Netflix with one of the best movies of the year. The story of a divorce, of a
love tragedy, with that tone between drama and comedy that characterizes the
film maker, with a combination of great direction and a great script we learn
how to digest such a really raw movie. The movie is a contemporary version of
films like Kramer vs. Kramer. He stresses the elegant staging but above all,
again, his skillful direction of actors. The two stars, Johansson and Driver,
take advantage of the space that Baumbach gives them to show off and confirm
their great talent. This film represents American author cinema at its best. Noah
Baumbach creates his most adult film yet that gradually crumble between lawyers
and bureaucracy.
This movie is absolutely heartbreaking and real, with great
performances and moments that will remain recorded for a long time (from her
monologue in front of the lawyer to the Sondheim song that he sings, and from
there to a final sublime and subtle scene). This is an essential film.
Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver, Laura Dern, Alan
Alda, Ray Liotta ...
