Our take on Marriage Story
Noah Baumbach's 2019 drama follows a theatre director and an actress through a grueling divorce that exposes love, resentment and the impossible logistics of separating two lives. Funny, raw and almost unbearably honest, it gives both sides their due. If its emotional truth and bruising intimacy moved you, seek out incisive relationship dramas about love coming apart and the people caught in the wreckage.
