Performances were A1 from the whole cast, that argument in Charlie’s apartment was incredible.

I was going to watch queen and slim tonight but my girl was late getting ready.
we ended up watching this. It was a fantastic flick. My girl was crying throughout the whole film.
All of the acting was incredibly strong. The supporting actors like the mom, both lawyers were phenomenal.
I liked the storyline, it kept it mostly real. And truly showed the ugliness, pain and happiness that marital struggles can bring u.
Both main actors had like 3-4 scenes were they acted non-stop for 4-5 minutes. U barely see that anymore, u got to give props when it’s due.
I loved how there monologue at the beginning kept popping up.
the woman finally drinking tea with her lawyer when she was ready for a true change, the guy turning off the lights on his ex at the moms house but not turning it back on symbolizing how he was finally done being civil with her. He tried to be positive for a while naively.
Also this is just me personally but having the actors exit the main room into a secondary room, drawing you into what they’re speaking about bc u have to hear harder. They did that shyt like 5-6 times and I loved it.
great flick. I’ll wait a couple weeks to discuss the plot sense most ppl haven’t seen it yet. Def a good watch.

I hate when people move to a different state when they have a young child.
And $10,000 as an attorney retainer???
I hope I never need an attorney. And I should have gone into law.

Incredible writing and acting, will definitely score big in those categories come awards season. Thought the editing could've been a tad tighter, for all of its long takes they end too often with a lazy fade out and some scenes draw out a bit longer than necessary. Very happy to see Ray Liotta in a meaningful and great role again too.
Get married brehs.Watching now.. probably the worst thing I could be watching right now given my current status
Edit:
Hmm
this was great. I like Baumbachs movies though. (go watch his other Netflix movie Meyerwitz Stories)
Laura Dern is fantastic. good to see Ray Liotta get a role like this.
the bits when he was with his theatre group and the comments Wallace Shawns character was making reminded me of Mozart In The Jungle.
a shame that one part in the argument scene is floating about Twitter with him punching the wall has caused such a debate whether the acting is good or not because Adam Driver was absolutely bodying that whole scene.
Netflix really got three of the best movies of the year in The Irishman, Marriage Story and Uncut Gems.

Uncut is not Netflix. A24. Will be on Amazon for prime members after the digital window.
The two Pope's is Netflix and they say that's great
