Too good at writing dialogue. The two narratives in the opening 8 minutes make people believe that there is indeed a beautiful relationship in the world, and a beautiful look at each other. The wife met with a lawyer for the first time and confided why she decided to divorce. Scarlett Johansson's long coherent performance, the words she said, uttered the essence of most marriages disintegrating from within. The husband suddenly changed his lawyer from a moderate to a hardline brutalist, which caused both parties to become passive in the divorce court. After that, the two decided to negotiate in private, but the result suddenly turned into an unprecedented fierce quarrel. In the end, the husband Collapse, this is probably the most exciting and true couple quarrel in history. The next scene of the knife game is too good to write, I am totally laughing crazy. This movie is not about how terrible marriage is. Do you understand that sometimes, people who love each other, people who respect, trust and appreciate each other may choose to end their marriage. This is a regrettable but remarkable thing.

    It talks about love, it talks about marriage, it talks about life itself! The film’s presentation of life is too real, too delicate, and too cruel. Although I have tried my best to deal with this relationship in a gentle and slightly lyrical way, it is still shocking. The scene of the two lawyers' intense argument and the long quarrel afterwards made people feel sad to heartache. From the time we should consider separating, it gradually evolved into that I hate you and must leave you immediately. I really watched everyone go from falling in love to hating each other, and even becoming vicious with each other, becoming more and more vicious. How did we become like this? Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson played so well, all kinds of small emotional details: gentle, kind, angry, embarrassing... The conversion and presentation of every detail is very good, I feel It also incorporates a lot of own experience and projection. The film has a lot of small details that can be carefully tasted, and they are all very useful. This is not only a movie, it is a mirror that shines on everyone.
