I can't write a short review, put it here--
I just watched "Battle of Midway" recently, and it has one advantage that "Marriage Story" can learn from, and that is - the two are fighting, and you must learn to respect your enemy.
I find "Marriage Story" so shallow for one reason: it repeatedly emphasizes that society only demands perfection from mothers, not fathers.
Then, who is the old saying "the son does not teach, the father is the fault"?
In fact, the common thinking is that the mother takes care of the first half of the child's life and food and daily life, and the father teaches the second half of the child well, behaves well, and ensures the economic status of the family. Like fatherhood, secular achievement is the most important thing. Although it is praised and exalted, it does not actually bring individual freedom and social value to women, but is more like a kind of heavy labor at a lower level.
When society, regardless of gender, values or is required to achieve worldly achievements (the father function), women will be bothered by the heavy labor of motherhood, and this is the problem.
But as a movie, it should not be limited to this kind of provocative emotion, so that women can sound "relaxing" resonant words, at least there must be an attempt to look at the problem objectively from the perspective of women. Today's women desperately want the respect of men, but it's never going to work just by talking to themselves.
