Fantastic performances by the entire cast! Laura Dern, Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansen, and Alan Alda are wonderful. Marriage Story accurately exposes what actually goes on when couples turn to lawyers to help them with their divorce rather than go thru mediation. Kudos for exposing our circus of a legal system and the lawyers who are still practicing this archaic type of matrimonial law that wreaks destruction on parents, children and bank accounts. This movie in it's frank raw telling should help dissuade couples from using traditional maritmonial lawyers and an antiquated court system both of which sorely need tort reform and regulation! Hint: Use collaborative lawyers or mediators, or stay married! Marriage Story is also an intimate look at the emotions that boil under the surface of many marriages. This is Academy Award worthy cinema. Best movie of the year! Bravo!
