Marriage Story (Noah Baumbach, 2019) Movie • Page 7

Same. Really well crafted, strong performances, but it's a notch below other Baumbach for me.

 

Yeah Frances and mistress America still top it for me

 

The less time spent finding and reading random people shitting on things you enjoy on Twitter the better

 

Mistress America gotta be one of the funniest movies of the decade imo

 

Greta and Noah should do another collaboration now.

 

I rewatched Frances Ha just before this and I loved it even more than I remembered.

This was still easily my favourite film of his.

 

I wasn’t huge on Francis Ha either. Maybe I just don’t like his movies

 

Frances Ha and Squid are probably my top two. This, Mistress America, and Kicking & Screaming in the next tier. I respect Margo but never want to watch it again. The rest is alright

 

I’m not trying to find them, twitter’s algorithm dumps them into my feed and I don’t even follow the people tweeting. It sucks!

 

Mistress America is our generation's Clueless

 

Not super familiar with Noah’s earlier work, so every time someone brings up Kicking and Screaming in this thread the Will Ferrell coaches a youth soccer team movie crosses my mind first.

That’s all I have to add here right now

 

I’ll update my verbiage to “dwelling on them” then, haha

It’s really hard not to sometimes though, I get that and am guilty of it myself.

 

Same haha

 

There are some movies where I'm pretty confident that the end product is quite good, but the subject matter makes me - in no way shape or form - want to engage with it.

As a child of divorce, and someone who super adores his wife, I think I'm good on this one – even with how much I love Baumbach and Driver.

 

man wyd today

 

@iCarly Rae Jepsen I both love and hate you for not warning me that Adam Driver would sing Being Alive in this because it RUINED ME.

 

The more I listen to him sing “Being Alive” the more I realize it’s kind of this plea for sincerity and it makes me even angrier at this shitty discourse.

 

I wish the pie/rotisserie chicken scene was what was circulating out of context

but yeah like I imagine a lot of scenes from great movies would look bad out of context, because that's not how movies work, and of course human beings don't speak in monologues
the people who don't want to see another movie about an angry white man I get because I felt that at times

 

When she said the pie was just a pie I started singing Obvious Child to myself and had to keep it together. Loved that scene.

 

What would you guys say Baumbach's best is?

I tried watching Frances Ha before I even saw this and couldn't finish it, the only thing good about that was Greta Gerwig lol I'll try again at some point I just didn't enjoy it at all first time around. Not familiar with anything else from him, and I absolutely loved this

 

This, Frances Ha and Mistress America are my top 3 from him. Adore all three.

 

Frances Ha, bar none. It’s also in my ten best of the decade though so that shouldn’t be surprising ha.

 

Interesting. I wonder if there was something I was missing. Like I said, I'll give it another shot

 

the top three are frances, meyerowitz and this
