That Noah Baumbach (Frances Ha, Greenberg) has a brilliant future ahead, is something that we could be clear watching his filmography so far.But the American director signs, with Marriage Story (history of a marriage in Spain), his best film to date.
For the first time to the general public in the last edition of the Venice Biennale, with great success, Marriage Story arrives in Netflix with a luxury cast: Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are put in the skin of a marriage in the middle of a divorceWith a small child in between.With a situation as delicate as it is to have a small child in common, the couple will try to perform the process in the most friendly way, to avoid any damage to the little.
Driver's character is presented as an acclaimed theater director and Johansson's like an actress who is looking for a new path in his career.Both will realize that, in reality, different truths live and that, the best decision they can make is to face a separation.
This chronicle of a failed marriage could not be presented in another way that was not as if it were a long roller coaster of emotions, feelings and contradictions..
And Baumbach, with a sensitivity that will shrink your heart and make you laugh in equal parts, breaks down their characters, leads them to the end of their situation and is gradually solving, the complicated situation they face.It is a film made from the heart and the entrails, willing to talk about the scars of their characters and the stages through which each of them passes (not only the main couple, but also of those around them) without anyType of tapping.
Driver and Johansson open on a channel before a story full of truth, simple and sensitive, providing scenes of all kinds of emotional tour.Like his own characters, you will go laughing out loud to release more than one tear with them.
Marriage Story is one of those films that captivates for their simplicity, the actions of its protagonists and the ability to immerse the viewer in a totally daily story in our environment.We are facing one of the candidates to become your favorite movie of the year.You already have it in Netflix.Enjoy it.
The best: the interpretive duo formed Driver and Johansson.It's nice to see them together on the screen.
The worst: in some moments it is too histrionic.
Note: 8/10
