Marriage Story (2019), dir. Noah Baumbach Rating: ★★★★½ Thesis: A devastatingly honest portrait of divorce where no one is the villain—but everyone is wounded. Key strengths: Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver give career-best performances; the argument scene is a masterclass in raw, unbroken tension. Baumbach uses intimate close-ups and sparse L.A./NYC backdrops to mirror emotional claustrophobia. Weakness: Slightly long in the final act; the mediator scene feels stagey. Verdict: Essential viewing for anyone who believes love and pain can coexist.
