Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"At once funny, scalding, and stirring, built around two bravura performances of incredible sharpness and humanity, it’s the work of a major film artist, one who shows that he can capture life in all its emotional detail and complexity..." - 08/29/2019 Variety
"On the surface, this is indeed not a tale of love, but of mounting mutual hostility -- though as Noah Baumbach’s wounding, masterly new film argues, the line between those sentiments can be agonizingly blurry." - 08/29/2019 Hollywood Reporter
4 stars out of 5 -- "In his personal and moving story, Baumbach captures the insidious nature of divorce, how two well-meaning people who still care about each other will do things they would never think they would do." - 09/10/2019 RogerEbert.com
"[T]heir unraveling turns out to be a sad, funny, devastating thing to watch unfold; a sort of pulverization-by-proxy that draws you so far into Charlie and Nicole’s world, it sometimes feels like trespassing just to be there in the theater." - 09/06/2019 Entertainment Weekly
"[A] scalding, wrenching and inexhaustibly rich new movie..." - 11/05/2019 Los Angeles Times
"It’s funny and sad, sometimes within a single scene, and it weaves a plot out of the messy collapse of a shared reality, trying to make music out of disharmony. The melody is full of heartbreak, loss and regret, but the song is too beautiful to be entirely melancholy." - 11/05/2019 New York Times
"It’s sad and sometimes angry, with a heartfelt view of a relationship’s dynamics that some of the director’s prior works lacked." - 11/08/2019 The Atlantic
5 stars out of 5 -- "[The film] resists the darkness of the subject through a light, zippy script that delivers more zingers than many out-and-out comedies." - 11/11/2019 Empire
"[S]howing off not only the actors but also another side of Baumbach, a filmmaker who often sticks to the edge of clever social satire..." - 12/10/2019 Film Comment
"[I]t’s Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver as sorrowfully battling spouses who keep this STORY grounded in truthful, hard-won honesty." - 12/19/2019 Boston Globe
"[E]nlivened by incidental humour and Baumbach’s sharp, intelligent script -- and given warmth and humanity by the leads." - 12/23/2019 Uncut
