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.

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...

5/5

Marriage Story is so raw and emotionally burning that the experience is best savoured alone.

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.

As a painfully honest portrait of a relationship on the rocks inches from reconciliation, Marriage Story is a revelation, but films including The Worst Person in the World have done it better.

“Marriage Story” could’ve easily been called “Divorce Story”, but the contradicting title suggests that marriage is a failed institution.

4.5/5

Here’s director Noah Baumbach at his usual best, lending a levelheaded perspective on a love on the rocks and the unnecessary vitriol born out of a couple’s disappointments and frustrations.

VERY CHEEZY and a big snooze. 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.

Superb acting by Adam Driver. Very human story. Avoided cliche ending.
