Awful truth: ‘MARRIAGE STORY’ a relatable series of heartbreaks and joys through lens of marital disintegration
In the Netflix film ‘Marriage Story,’ filmmaker Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, The Meyerowitz Stories) brings a bona fide and terrifying perspective to the cinematic plate. Baumbach doesn’t shy away from the consequences of love being on the rocks and custody disputes, but he also doesn’t drive the audience so far into the ground that coming up for air seems impossible. ‘Marriage Story’ is an incredibly human experience, with surprising bursts of humor, that movingly illustrates the transition of love.
