Marriage Story Discussion (Dir. Noah Baumbach w. Scar Jo, Adam Driver, Laura Dern, Ray Liotta)

[GoldenGlove]

This movie is excellent.

 

[Lootpack]

This is what they were going for but fell way short

Both scenes were great

 

[HipHopStan]

That little kid low key kept snitching on Adam Driver to the social worker. "Show her your knife trick, dad."

It was good seeing Wallace Shawn up and about. I've seen a lot of interviews with him recently where it looked like he didn't know where he was or what he was doing there so it's good to see him still active even if it was a small part.

 

[Sad Bunny]

This was amazing.

Goddamn

Top 5 easily.

May be my favorite film of the year.

I'd have to go back and see what else dropped though.

I teared up a few times

Yeah Driver and ScarJo were amazing in this... bruh, both of them had me heated. Charlie cheated on her with that lame hippy stagehand and ScarJo basically ruined his relationship with his kid for a minute..

You see at the beginning how close he is with his son and halfway through she and the lawyer got the kid thinkin his Dad ain't shyt.

It hurt seeing ScarJo linked with that lame cac at the end smh..

People said they made ScarJo look "normal" for this role, I think she looked sexy as fukk throughout she looked great

Driver killed the argument scene and the song at the end

I liked how she went up and tied his shoe in the final scene, a nice touch that shows through divorce these are always people who will have love for one another

Netflix continues to restore balance and cinema to the universe

 

[Bigbigguy]

The acting was great in this but I can't really say I enjoyed it.

He walked out of an NPR interview with Terry Gross of Fresh Air because he did not want to listen to himself singing Sondheim's Being Alive from a clip of Marriage Story. While he was encouraged to just remove his headphones when the clip was played, Driver left during a break when they played the clip.

"We don't really understand why he left. We were looking forward to the interview -- Terry thinks he's a terrific actor, he was a great guest when he was on [the show] in 2015 -- so we were disappointed that we didn't have a new interview to share with our listeners about Marriage Story," said Fresh Air executive producer Danny Miller.

He apparently also cancelled on Conan O'Brien last week as mentioned by the host before they replayed an older interview. "[We] had promised you an interview with actor Adam Driver today, but unfortunately, we weren't able to do it as planned."

Back in 2015 when he appeared on Fresh Air, Driver joked about why he didn't want to hear himself. "I don't want to hear the bad acting that probably was happening during that clip." And then explained, "I've watched myself or listened to myself before, then always hate it. And then wish I could change it, but you can't. And I think I have, like, a tendency to try to make things better or drive myself and the other people around me crazy with the things I wanted to change or I wish I could change."

In the past, Driver described feeling sick during The Force Awakens and hiding during a screening of BlacKkKlansmen.

 

[doggy]

You can tell he’s a weird dude

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It fell flat, tonally, throughout, and it didn't have an organic charm to it, which you'd expect there to be given the nature of the material, which was largely due to the fact Scarlett and Driver didn't have jump-off-the-screen chemistry between them. Where it tried to portray the beauty/ugliness in the every-relationship/family moments, that gently guide you through its exposition and allegory, rarely ever did I feel anything. Perhaps I wasn't in the mood, I don't know.

Scar Jo's one of my favourite actresses, and I don't know if I liked her in this either.

 

[TOAD99]

Thought this was a really good movie

Driver and ScarJo acted their asses off

Never been married, but similar shyt happens when you’re dating and things go south and little by little the good moments become less and less frequent until there’s nothing left but the shadow of what used to be

Those lawyers were cutthroat

 

[TOAD99]

Oh and that scene when they decide to finally talk things out great acting

That intensity between Charlie and Nicole

 

[cartierhoe]

Great flick

 

[mastermind]

Good movie. I wasn’t blown away or anything but I liked it. Kinda like a New gens Kramer vs Kramer

These are the movies these streaming apps need to fund, and not garbage like 6 Underground and Bright.

 

[mastermind]

Oh and that scene when they decide to finally talk things out great acting

That intensity between Charlie and Nicole

Mans almost welled up at that scene
