Marriage Story What to Know Critics Consensus Observing a splintering union with compassion and expansive grace, the powerfully acted Marriage Story ranks among writer-director Noah Baumbach's best works. Read Critics Reviews Critics Reviews View More Kyndall Cunningham Bitch Media 07/21/2020 It's not that Marriage Story is completely disinterested in the gender dynamics at play in heterosexual relationships, and the way they reverberate in society at large. But its brief moments of commentary don't translate...

Go to Full Review Kristen Lopez FanSided 12/13/2019 What should feel authentic can often feel hokey, sanitized and a fairy-tale of what a divorce could look like if people just got out of their own way. Go to Full Review Wael Khairy The Cinephile Fix 01/18/2025 “Marriage Story” could’ve easily been called “Divorce Story”, but the contradicting title suggests that marriage is a failed institution.

ALtho Scarlett J. was not as sexualized as she usually is (relief) she still is lesser character with Adam Driver being the lead role on more than a few levels. Meaning, yes, its still sexist, and annoyingly so. Sentimental, cheezy and way too long. See more Jane 12/27/2019 Superb acting by Adam Driver. Very human story. Avoided cliche ending.
