Marriage Story

Marriage Story, which has been nominated for six Academy Awards, follows the divorce process from separation to finalization, with Adam Driver playing the successful theater director husband and Scarlett Johansson playing the successful actress wife. The fact that the couple has a child complicates matters, but the brilliance of Baumbach's film is that it tells the story from both points of view, so no matter which side you end up on, you have deep empathy for both individuals.

Driver and Johansson give career-best performances as Baumbach creates full-bodied, complex characters—like real people. In terms of the subject matter, Baumbach vividly depicts how the two individuals' voices—and the love they previously shared—get lost in the process of divorcing. Marriage Story is a must-see film that is both heartbreaking and deeply human.
