	Author	Review
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"Baumbach's best yet (...) It’s also funny and, when you least expect it (...), almost unbearably tender, thanks in large part to the sensational leads, who deliver the deepest, most alive and attuned performances of their careers.	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[A] drama that's so accomplished it elevates the writer-director of 'The Squid and the Whale' to a whole new level."	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"[It] falls in line with a tradition of great films about the messiness of relationships, (...) Devastating, essential, and destined to be remembered"	POS
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"A measured, nuance portrait of divorce (...) 'Marriage Story' is a sharp, ardently felt, fair movie, giving both sides their due and finding a melancholy kind of parity by the end."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"[It] boasts a pair of devastating performances from Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson that rank as their very best (...) The brilliance of the movie lies in how it starts from a familiar place, then sneaks into transcendence."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"With remarkable grace and compassion for his characters, Baumbach portrays divorce as a great equalizer, turning us into versions of ourselves we didn’t expect to become (...) Rating:★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Stephanie Zacharek Time	"I suspect almost anyone who has dissolved a seemingly perfect union can relate to at least some of 'Marriage Story', especially if there are children involved."	POS
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"A moving divorce drama (...) It’s (...) Baumbach’s most mature and least comic work"	POS
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"[It] can be a tough watch, thanks to outstanding, stripped-raw performances by leads Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson (...) With a sharp, intelligent script and Baumbach’s usual visual timidity, this is a very particular film"	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"It has fine performances by Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, a family-pack of box-fresh dialogue and a keen sense of its own absurdity (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"The film never loses its sense of humour and absurdity. Somehow, in spite of the bleakness of the subject matter, it feels more redemptive than despairing (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Terri White Empire	"'Marriage Story' manages to be one of this year’s best thrillers, comedies and romcoms all at once. A tender, taut gem of a film that will make you reconsider love and loss (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Lewis Knight Mirror	"One of the year's best films and an unrelentingly honest, bittersweet piece of open-hearted cinema (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"It is Baumbach’s funniest, most fine-grained picture since 2012's 'Frances Ha' (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"Scarlett Johansson has never been better and Adam Driver is equally good (...) It’s a wonder. It is Baumbach’s best film (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Paul Whitington Irish Independent	"Gripping, tragi-comic domestic drama may make you reconsider that divorce (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"Easily the most compelling divorce story since 'Kramer v Kramer', 'Marriage Story' is also definitely among Netflix’s top 5 movies to date (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	James Phelan Film Ireland	"However heartfelt and organic the emotions, the film falls into the trap of often mistaking arguments for drama."	NEU
