Netflix's Noah Baumbach helmed Marriage Story has divided people on the internet due to the overall structure of the drama movie. The divorce drama is a compassionate look at a marriage falling apart and a family trying to stay together. The film has been nominated for six Golden Globe awards.

Not being completely autobiographical in nature, the film will strike a chord with anyone going through a divorce and anyone who has experience with relationships. The Scarlett Johansson starrer has prompted mix reactions from people on social media platform Twitter.

An emotional rollercoaster

A Twitterati said that it was one of the finest films of 2019 and a major achievement in terms of storytelling.

Over-written movie

However, there were a few people who did not like the film.

A person was of the opinion that the movie had some good moments, adding that the director tried to do too much at one go.

Another person said that Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson gave their career-best performance but the script was completely ill-suited.

It is being said that one of the best things about the movie is that the couple going through the divorce do not hate each other but things start to spiral down when the lawyers (played by Ray Liotta, Laura Dern, and Alan Alda) get involved.

The movie is an emotional joyride with a few devastating scenes here and there but ends on a hopeful conclusion. The drama felt as if it is a mirror reflection of director Baumbach's experience with divorce.

Noah Baumbach said that the movie was a personal effort and that he had a real connection with the film. He talked about the time when many of his friends were getting divorced, adding that it gave him the opportunity to do extensive research by interviewing a lot of friends, lawyers, mediators, and judges.
