Baumbach (dir & writer) is a hack author, movie is literal crap

Noah Baumbach can’t write for s, nor direct.

Scarlett Johansson is a wooden actress.

ScarJo’s acting - there’s no real feelings. It’s cold and clinical & relying on tricks.

Adam Driver: Better, starts off terrible, he’s a better actor.

Whomever plays the mother of ScarJo is great

But this movie is a literal piece of crap. I couldn’t stay watching it.

Totally disagree. Baumbach is an excellent writer and director. Johansson is great and so is Driver. Both will get Oscar nominations. The film is a masterpiece and one of the best films of the year. It will deservedly be nominated for best picture.

Stick to the MCU.

Perhaps you should. I’m not an MCU fan.

I completely disagree. I thought the acting was top notch.
I was surprised by how real everything was. It felt like real life seperation and divorce with some spruced up parts to make it an enjoyable movie.
