Marriage Story

(United States, directed by Noah Baumbach)

So far, Noah Baumbach directed a bunch of movies that varied between ‘just okay’ to ‘pretty entertaining’. Movies usually inhabited by intellectual, neurotic New Yorkers. With ‘Marriage Story’, he made his first true great film. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver are absolutely stunning as a couple that wants to divorce in a civilized, respectful way, but end up in a nasty court fight anyway. A beautiful movie about the disintegration of love, that is both heartbreaking and funny.
