fukk...this floored me :wow: one of my absolute favorites this year, and maybe of this decade at the end of the day. This felt so genuine, and real. I related to it a lot in ways, and it really resonated with me. I had originally seen the Adam Driver scene in another thread, and which actually convinced me to watch this. But once the plot starts going full speed ahead, you really feel the tension and resentment build until you hit that pivotal argument scene. The small details in this movie, the sometimes awkward comedy, all of it just really worked well together in creating a very genuine feeling film. Top 5 of the year for me, loved it

Not at all, this may actually provoke a conversation that could better your situation. If a movie is all it took to break up, your bond wasn't that strong anyway.

Naw, I've been married 18 years, we good. But there's no reason to bring up old wounds that hit too close to home though. I'm not actually concerned about anything, I was just trying to gauge the depths of the contentiousness displayed in this movie.

I didn't like it. I can acknowledge it was well crafted, well acted, and well written, but I just..... You know what it reminded me of? Manchester by the Sea. It deals with the emotional devastation and minutiae of a real life event rarely explored. In Manchester by the Sea it was how people deal with death and the details of burying someone. Here's it's how these people deal with divorce and all of the emotional and legal complications involved in it. Maybe it's a personal thing and I have some sort of protective emotional wall up when it comes to these kind of movies but it just didn't move me. I do think ScarJo delivered and showed surprising range. I never forgot Driver was acting. Something felt so try-hard about him, especially during that argument.

flick is great if you dig the genre, otherwise you will not be entertained

wasn't aware that scarjo can ACTUALLY act instead of just saying lines in movies

your stars are but dust on my shoes
This was a nice surprise, didn't know about the flick at all. Fan of Driver since I seen him in Paterson, so I threw this one after seeing the description on Netflix.

I don't even know what to say... I just immediately grew sympathy for everyone who's had to go through a divorce.:huhldup:
