Review: It’s a ‘Marriage Story,’ but about divorce

Associated Press  

Noah Baumbach is a keen observer of life’s banalities. His worlds are ones you feel like you already live in, even if he’s exploring an ugly moment that everyone would rather forget as soon as possible, as in his latest “Marriage Story,” which is actually about divorce. Dream on, Charlie and Nicole, even nice divorces get ugly — there’s a whole industry there to make sure of it. “Marriage Story” takes the audience deep into this world, showing how two people fully invested in splitting amicably can get swept up so easily in animosity and legal challenges. Alone, they are excellent whether it’s Johansson trying to wrap her head around what went wrong or Driver simply singing Stephen Sondheim’s “Being Alive.” And together they’re on fire.
