This movie was absolute perfection. Adam Driver needs to win best actor. And my god that screenplay! This is my favorite film of the year by far. I thoroughly enjoyed Parasite, I had a great time watching Ford V Ferrari, but Marriage Story... that's a movie that's really going to stick with me for a long time.
Definitively, not a perfect movie . The film has many flaws. The acting by some of the support casts aside Laura Dern/Ray Liotta. Scarlett Johansson's sister had some terrible acting. So was the lady who came to Adam Driver's house to see how him and his son lived. I really was confused it they were just supposed to be acting that bad or was it for a bad comic relief thing? Wasn't a fan of some of the singing. Like the scene towards the end when Adam Driver randomly sings at that restaurant. So is this a musical now or what? lol That kind of reminded me of La La Land or something (BTW I loved La La Land). And why did the babysitter tell them they were both attractive?? That was so odd lol. Also, I didn't like how it was from a point of a view of sort of rich people. It would be a little more realistic from a middle class point of view in my opinion
@Charlie Coles But why did he randomly sing? It felt so out of place. It would of fit better if the movie mentioned that he used to sing all the time. Or if he heard something about how singing could help. It just happened like if it was a musical.
@Charlie Coles the most emotional part was the argument scene. Specifically when he tells her he wishes she was dead.
@@rupman27isback The social worker was very good for what she was and what her purpose is. This guy's life is being turned upside down. And here he is, a "hot shit" artist among our social elite and he is going to be judged by a low paid, likely over her head, over worked social worker who is among the least elite educated workers in our society.
Prayer circle that Adam and Scarlett win.
Joker can win as well best actor
manas banerjee Yeah, it’ll be a tough race. I liked Joaquin’s performance as well, so I wouldn’t be mad if it came down between the two actors.
Amen :)
@@rubberducky4074 hmm
I want Laura Dern to win and not Jennifer Lopez but that’s just me.
My favorite film of 2019 so far and I am not even a fan of Scarlett Johansson but she was amazing in this.
I hate the best actor race because usually when there are two frontrunners I usually like one much better than the other but this year with Adam Driver and Joaquin Phoenix I love them both so much that I wish there could be a tie like Katharine Hepburn/Barbra Streisand, which is not going to happen, but based on performance alone, I think I want Adam to win
Yep me too
This movie is so incredibly well-made that I'm afraid of watching it a 2nd time.
So glad you guys loved it! And it was awesome to meet you at the screening haha; let me know if you wanna see a movie together sometime!!
This comment may not age well!
I think we can have one of the tightest and graziest Best Picture races ever. In my scenario we have a race between FIVE movies. We have obviously two Netflix gems The Irishman and Marriage Story. I am now really thinking that 1917 will be a huge frontrunner as well. Jojo Rabbit as a dark horse pick if it wins Comedy / Musical at the Globes. People are adoring Parasite and call me grazy but I can see it as a dark horse pick as well.
YES!!!!! Parasite is amazing, and unlike Roma, I don't see how anyone could be bored by it, it is very entertaining and has many twists.
You’re missing what I think is one of the top 3 contenders in Once Upon a time in Hollywood
1917 is winning it!!! Period!
Is ADAM's performance is Marriage Story Really Better Than JOAQUIN's performance in JOKER!?
Saurabh Singh I don't think it's possible
Saurabh Singh No way in hell and I love Adam Driver
They’re both great and hard to compare. If you think Joaquin was the best thing you’ve ever seen then Driver won’t change your mind. Driver’s performance moved me more personally.
So, I Think It's Safe To Say That If Adam Wins, It'll Be Unfair To Joaquin, & If He Wins It'll Be Unfair To Adam. 🤔
@@TheOscarExpert I saw the Joker on Sat. I dont think Driver can top Joaquin for me. But I look forward nontheless.
The blocking in the first scene with Laura dern and ScarJo, is inspirational. It is very hard to make a regular room look so interesting. What a masterpiece in an otherwise boring year for movies.
I'm honestly not sure who will win what anymore. I actually like the fact that I can see other people's reactions to these films before I do because I'm guilty of predicting the films that I like the most as the winners. I get very emotionally invested, but honestly I'm the most stoked for this film ( Noah Baumbach fan) and your review just threw me face first into rabid anticipation.
I can't wait to see this. Noah Baumbach is a fantastic director with Mistress America being my favorite of his movies. Thanks for the review!
Fantastic review, love what you guys are doing. Can't wait to watch the film
ye, it's going to be between irishman and marriage story this year
And 1917 and Parasite
ТурбоТОП I hope it’s Marriage Story or Parasite. Both the best movies of the year.
Diego Pisfil I actually like Marriage Story a hair more but only because I personally connected with it more. Parasite certainly is the better made film though.
With the Meyerowitz Stories and now this. Baumbach is now THE king of realistic stories and dialogue.
probably 2nd best film of the year after parasite
yes.
Completely agree
Marriage Story is most likely winning best picture I won’t even argue about that one as well as Original Screenplay. Actor on the other hand, ehhhhh I still have my money oh Phoenix mainly becaue not only was he amazing in the film, but he also had to completely transform his body and his mind which the academy LOVES when actors/actresses do that.
I think what might hurt Phoenix is that Joker is most likely not going to be nominated for Picture. It's really hard for a non Best Picture nominee to win Best Actor.
+Oskari Yeah you have a point but best picture nomination or not, Phoenix is AT LEAST getting nominated. It’s a lock. Everybody knows it. Best Picture nomination for Joker is also very much possible. Whatever happens, that Oscar is either going to Driver or Phoenix. I dunno man it’s still early.
Here's what a lot of people need to understand is that movies don't go on huge sweeps at the Oscars anymore, we've seen recent Best Picture winners win only BP a screenplay award and an acting award the academy likes the spread the wealth these days, In fact Picture and Director rarely line up and I feel like people should really take this into consideration before going all out with Marriage Story for their predictions this award season
I need to watch this movie as soon as possible!!!!
I agree with this review completely! Maybe my favorite film in years.
The kid in the movie was supposed to be 8. And remember that’s like 2nd grade age or something. Kids don’t really start reading until first grade.
I feel like it’s going to be the movie we all think will win but in the end it won’t
Just saw it last night and I thought it was good. Nothing great or flawless in my opinion. I really did appreciate the realism of the movie. How it showed all the legal things the couples had to do and what they went through. The scene stealer was the argument between the two leads in his apartment. That was truly incredible. What I didn't care for was the acting by some of the support casts aside Laura Dern/Ray Liotta. Scarlett Johansson's sister had some terrible acting. So was the lady who came to Adam Driver's house to see how him and his son lived. I really was confused it they were just supposed to be acting that bad or was it for a bad comic relief thing? Wasn't a fan of some of the singing. Like the scene towards the end when Adam Driver randomly sings at that restaurant. So is this a musical now or what? lol That kind of reminded me of La La Land or something (BTW I loved La La Land). And why did the babysitter tell them they were both attractive?? That was so odd lol. Also, I didn't like how it was from a point of a view of sort of rich people. It would be a little more realistic from a middle class point of view in my opinion. Because a divorce is bad on a child no matter what, but it's easier when a child has some great support around him. I know this from personal experience, and had the opposite. But overall, good movie. I would rate it a solid B grade.
this, WAVES & LITTLE WOMEN are my most anticipated for the rest of the year
The way this movie was shot reminded me a lot of Ghost Story!
5:52 was that judy shade lol
“Lock to win screenplay”
When are you reviewing Parasite?
Let’s just get this movie to sweep the Oscars. But this year is so stacked with great movies! And also it’s the Oscars and they always let down so.
Guys. It's good. It's not THAT good. For example, the fight scene totally took me out of it. The script and the acting were not how things really happen in life. Did you see JOKER? A much superior film, in my opinion.
@Murrraaayyyyyy Yep.
Marriage Story is winning Screenplay at the Golden Globes.
I hope so but they picked Green Book last year so I don't know
Shooooot I’m so pumped now
Squid and the Whale was IMO a better movie for me and that only received one Oscar nomination. I hope the academy finally realizes what a brilliant director Noah is, but I feel like this movie will be tossed aside.
Ok. This is on my list to see. Based on buzz so far, I agree that it is a front runner for all the awards. I dont think "The Irishman" will do as well at awards as many expect.
Saw 1917 last week. It will also be a frontrunner. Very much so.
Oh wow, you saw 1917? I’m sure you have an NDA but, is it basically as good as it looks to be?
The Oscar Expert I did some digging and heard sources say it’s as a real deal. It will win cinematography easily and is also a strong threat for Picture, Director, Sounds, Production Design and Score. Take this with a grain of salt but...damn.
@@TheOscarExpert Yes I can't talk about it. But I can say the best picture race will be the closest in years! It really depends on the current makeup and mood of the Academy. This film will be much talked about as more screenings roll out.
Chance Roberts I realize you can’t disclose any details, but who was the acting standout in your opinion? I am hoping George MacKay and Richard Madden pull through. But I suppose it will be very difficult for both to get nominated due to the fierce competition.
To the uploaders... Who will win best actor? Joker Or marriage story??
We think Driver is most likely, but it’s no guarantee.
The Oscar Expert don't be sure to that yet... I guess for me Joaquin Phoenix for the movie Joker.. even though my top 15 movies most of it not see yet (excepts Avengers: Endgame and Rocketman)
By the way my top 20 movies had strong chances become a contentions at the Oscars 2020 for Best Picture.. (in order)
Joker
Marriage Story
Jojo Rabbit
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Avengers: Endgame
Parasite
The Irishman
1917
Rocketman
A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood
Little Women
Ford V Ferrari
Judy
Hustlers
The Farewell
The Two Popes
Honey Boy
Pain And Glory
Harriet
Queen & Slim
I think that Brad Pitt will win the Oscar for best supporting actor for once opon a time in Hollywood and Pacino will loose
Parasite better get a best picture nom.
Seeing it next week at NYFF so hypeddd
Guys. Joaquin will win for sure. THAT'S MY LOCK.
yoni the poni I wouldn’t lock it. Driver has a legit shot. It’s between them 2 and DiCaprio. The lock for me is probably more likely to be Pitt in supporting actor
See thats agreeable. Im gonna see Marriage Story for the sake of meaning that comes from the issue of divorce and wanna see how Adam and Scarlett handles that in the film. I LOVE Adam so much as an actor and hoped he'd win for BlackKlansman, but out of all the films that came through since 2019 started, me seeing Joaquin's slow-burning transformation for Arthur to the Joker was one of the most impressive character developments Ive ever seen in my life of watching films. Id would be nice if the Oscars would let a tie winner happen for both of them, but we haven't seen that in decades
Snehil Shrey he will.
Diego Pisfil fair but that has no effect on the best actor race
Murrraaayyyyyy both are great I think. Ones just a little better. There were some cheesy lines in Joker which ultimately fall to a problem with the script but that’s literally the only flaw I have with it. I’d be happy with either Joaquin or Adam driver winning and think it’s wide open at the moment
It's going to be a long two months...
Great review!
Looks to be a lot of blue pilled guys in this thread! The movie was fantastic. It may be one of my favorites of the past 5 years. But POSSIBLE SPOILERS. Yes, about 1/2 of marriages end in divorce. Women file about 80% of them and they're not typically against brutal thugs but the nice guys women say they want. They can leave for any reason, or no reason at all. The line of the movie that explains everything is by Driver stating to Scarjo, "You wanted this life... until you didn't." Sure he isn't perfect. There was an infidelity after she had already kicked him to the curb. She destroys her family and turns his life upside down because she felt like it. That is horrifying. And the family courts have been turned into a nightmare where men are treated like garbage. She did this but ends up with sole custody, her lawyer paid for, child support and takes a man's son from him to another side of the country. Learn grasshoppers. Protect yourselves.
1917 is the biggest question mark of the year
I think it's winning director, cinematography, both sounds and maybe score (Thomas Newman has been nominated 14 times and never won, he's like the Roger Deakins of the music categories)
You guys need to look directly into the lens and not at the little screen of yourself. It shows
I can't wait until I'm an adult so I can watch it.
Me too
Idk about you guys but I hate Laura Dern in everything. I always feel like she’s playing herself. Couldn’t stand her character in this movie but in the best way.
have to disagree Scarjo is the star of the show
You haven’t seen Parasite yet?
Laura dern aint winning shit. Jlo bout to come in like a wrecking ball
But did you like it? (Just kidding.)
I guess the only weakness is the title
Dear The Oscar Expert
For me I guess Marriage Story not win at the Oscars 2020 for Best Picture it goes to Joker for me, even though both of the films not been watch yet... Why?? It is a collective thoughts and predictions of movie industry critics and other Oscars experts the veteran ones.. But Marriage Story one of my top 30 movies I want to watch because of Oscars contention for Best Picture
I like your thoughts The Oscar Expert how you review about the movie (Marriage Story) because that's your own opinions but for me and advance saying i'm sorry all I can see the Marriage Story for yours in my minds are biased opinions and sorry again to saying that to you both and I know I didn't know personally and i'm not saying that you are wrong about that and I respect that
Marriage Story still got nominations specially for Best Picture.. Look it up again like last year won Best Picture Green Book versus Roma because the voters at the Academy is want a message and revolutionary move from a movie for Best Picture to win like Green Book, Green Book a message of the film was racist in reverse (remember the Driving Miss Daisy movie?, Green Book is the answer about that), I disagree about saying that Joker is no one can relate, no no no my friend many movie goers might be relate on.. because Joker message of the film is about mental illnesses and society problem that now is the real problem of today, Joaquin Phoenix character as Arthur Fleck is suffering of society discriminations and bullying that's why Joker was born on him society created him as in real life the criminals of todays society made them because of poverty, discrimination and igronance for them... I don't say that Marriage Story is not a relatable movie, yeah some of us are driving through to the divorse process but for me in general aspects not all couple going like that they separated but no talking about divorse just acted like not married and ignore each other or worst in bath blood fight.. Joker might relate the people in general that what I say in past few sentences. And that's why a say this look it up whom are the new members of the Academy and one of them are Lady Laga, Adele, Rami Malek, Sam Smith and etc.. In the offense of Roma last year runner up at the Oscar for Best Picture in why this movie didn't win, last year Roma is the top to win for Best Picture in all critics and prediction charts in all sites and the reason was because it is a Netflix film and why again because the Academy voters saw it is not a cinematic exprience because thier reason Netflix might kill the movie industry that instead you go a watch of movies in theaters now you can watch a movie at home or where ever you are through our gadgets instead paying at the movie theaters which is already dying because of the all streaming services poping up today
Still it is the case of Netflix movies even though thier a strong contender for the critics and prediction charts for the race of Best Picture specially at the Oscars..
and say this my friends even though we're not really friends that it is all about campaigns strategies, showbiz buzz and a revolutionary massege of the film, I ask about this all to you The Oscar Expert why Roma, Brokeback Mountain, Avatar, Saving Private Ryan, Dunkrik, The Revenant, La La Land, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri etc.. and all lost at the Oscars for Best Picture (all of that movies was great) and explain to us because the name of your channel called The Oscar Expert, i'm not saying that iI am an expert on this nor i'm in the showbiz industry
I admit that both Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson got nominations on thier respected categories but I see both might be fail to win, tbe industry is see's Joaquin Phoenix win for Best Actor and Renée Zellweger win for Best Actress and that I can only say for now and admitting that not yet watch all this movies (Marriage Story, Joker & Judy), The crictics, predictioner's charts and movie industry see why Joaquin Phoenix and Renée Zellweger they say is "thier time" and I can say for the acting categories are Joker is a phoenominal pop modern culture icon and the sympathy of tragic life of Judy Garland and one of the most loved and adored as a showbiz legend and one of the most controversial in show business personality in the industry liked Rami Malek who won last year for Best Actor for playing as Freddy Mercury in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody
@Diego Pisfil will be sure driver and johanssonwin,because the joker character including jareret letto and heart leadger
its going to be 'lady bird'.
Best Picture - Joker
Best Director - Todd Phillips
Best Cinematography-Joker
Best Score - Joker
Best Actor - DEFINITELY JOAQUIN PHOENIX
Darling, keep dreaming mwah xx
who fed you roofies
Todd Phillips for best picture? Um yeah no, that's never going to happen. Phoenix has a shot at actor, that's probably the most plausible of all your predictions but even then I'd give it to Adam Driver before Phoenix, and i'd also give it to Robert Ne Niro before him too. All 3 terrific performance and like I said Phoenix h ass a shot for sure. But your other predictions, i'm sorry to say, are just total trash buddy.
