It’s heartbreaking, funny, touching, exceedingly smart, entertaining, enlightening and complex look at what can happen with those you choose to love.Adam Driver is Charlie, a New York theater director, and Scarlett Johansson is Nicole, an actress. They have an 8-year-old kid and are good parents. As the montage that opens the Netflix film shows, the couple has a deep understanding of what they love most about each other. Nicole was a child actress and born to the West Coast.
Baumbach wrote his script with the experience of his own divorce and much research with couples in marriages of various status. It is a knowing piece of writing that has no villains, just human beings trying to figure it all out. With Driver and Johansson delivering the two best performances of their careers, we are in good hands. The supporting cast could not be better, including the three divorce lawyers you won’t soon forget.
