The script was fantastic but the performances, they were phenomenal. Johansson was so good in this and the only reason I didn’t take her side was Driver’s immense charisma. And Dern, what a force that woman and how powerful and sadly true her monologue! <br /><br />I had no idea people had issues with Martha Kelly’s performance. I thought she was great and the visit was so fun and took off some of the tension, preventing the film from being too heavy. <br /><br />Excellent review!

All of it horribly honest and awkward. Also the quick mention that her mother had taken out a second mortgage on the house to pay for the lawyer.<br /><br />One thing that kind of bugged me about the kid it came off sometimes like Nicole was bribing him like just go with your dad and I'll give you a gift. Very good movie overall!<br /><br />And also I didn't mention this last week but I really like your new background & header!Gemmahttps://www.bookbeachbunny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-42101959106349382872019-12-18T21:33:52.585+01:002019-12-18T21:33:52.585+01:00Great review!

And Dern's performance when she first meets Nicole, I thought the same things. I also think ScarJo did good, but I still ended up rooting for Adam's characters, she is just not likable. <br /><br />The only thing we agree to disagree would be the fighting scene, I personally loved it and thought they did a great job!Geektellerhttps://geekteller.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-58981188931177695712019-12-17T20:35:07.479+01:002019-12-17T20:35:07.479+01:00Nice review.

I think it's a huge testament to Driver's ability by just how much I felt for Charlie when clearly the script wanted most of our sympathy to be with Nicole.

I work at a law firm and occasionally I glance through the files (I'm a records coordinator) and we had a pretty nasty divorce case here that just blew my mind. At one point, these people loved each other enough to get married, and now it's like the gloves are off.

So many critics approached this as if Noah invented long takes, Adam/Scarlett invented acting, and the story was traumatizing. It's a sold film with good performances and sharp script/direction, but I wasn't blown away. I'll probably re-watch this to see if my mind changes, but it was kind of meh for me.KatyRochellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-6811680965534760002019-12-15T19:18:08.724+01:002019-12-15T19:18:08.724+01:00Great review!

I am a child of divorce, however, and the feeling Baumbach, Driver and Johansson are able to lay down overrode any sort of arguments there may be about the privilege of wealthy artists. I write a lot about that in my review actually. There is a lot of universal truth about American divorce, at least from my perspective, in this movie. I so agree with you on the scene with Dern and Liotta (both great!) and also Dern's rant on the double standards. Glad you dug this so much! Same here.
