Drama A stage director and his actor wife struggle through a grueling, coast-to-coast divorce that pushes them to their personal and creative extremes.
Media Author Review
United States
The Hollywood Reporter
"Baumbach's best yet (...) It’s also funny and, when you least expect it (...), almost unbearably tender, thanks in large part to the sensational leads, who deliver the deepest, most alive and attuned performances of their careers. 
United States
Variety
"[A] drama that's so accomplished it elevates the writer-director of 'The Squid and the Whale' to a whole new level." 
United States
The Wrap
"[It] falls in line with a tradition of great films about the messiness of relationships, (...) Devastating, essential, and destined to be remembered" 
United States
Vanity Fair
"A measured, nuance portrait of divorce (...) 'Marriage Story' is a sharp, ardently felt, fair movie, giving both sides their due and finding a melancholy kind of parity by the end." 
United States
IndieWire
"[It] boasts a pair of devastating performances from Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson that rank as their very best (...) The brilliance of the movie lies in how it starts from a familiar place, then sneaks into transcendence." 
United States

"With remarkable grace and compassion for his characters, Baumbach portrays divorce as a great equalizer, turning us into versions of ourselves we didn’t expect to become (...) Rating:★★★★ (out of 4)" 
United States
Time
"I suspect almost anyone who has dissolved a seemingly perfect union can relate to at least some of 'Marriage Story', especially if there are children involved." 
United States
AV Club
"A moving divorce drama (...) It’s (...) Baumbach’s most mature and least comic work" 
United Kingdom
Screendaily
"[It] can be a tough watch, thanks to outstanding, stripped-raw performances by leads Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson (...) With a sharp, intelligent script and Baumbach’s usual visual timidity, this is a very particular film" 
United Kingdom
The Guardian
"It has fine performances by Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, a family-pack of box-fresh dialogue and a keen sense of its own absurdity (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 
United Kingdom
The Independent
"The film never loses its sense of humour and absurdity. Somehow, in spite of the bleakness of the subject matter, it feels more redemptive than despairing (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)" 
United Kingdom

"Easily the most compelling divorce story since 'Kramer v Kramer', 'Marriage Story' is also definitely among Netflix’s top 5 movies to date (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)" 
Ireland
Film Ireland
"However heartfelt and organic the emotions, the film falls into the trap of often mistaking arguments for drama."
