I avoided watching this because of how much I thought I'd be comparing it to Blue Valentine. I was way off, and I thoroughly enjoyed this. Driver and Johansson are next level. Damn.. kinda drained can't lie

honestly, fucked me up worse than Blue Valentine in the last half


-Vader

kinda never really liked Blue Valentine much

I'm scared to watch Blue Valentine again.

But

Two diff movies with the same story more or less, Blue Valentine was just way more raw to me. Although the first meeting with Dern and Johansson was extremely raw, and the apartment scene obviously. However the doctor's office scene in Blue Valentine and the last scene in the kitchen are prob my two fav acting scenes from Gosling. Idk .. I can go on and on about how Blue Valentine is better... but the more I type the more I think they're equal.. just two really well done movies.

lol I still have to see Blue Valentine

I can see how Marriage Story would fuck with you more. Charlie and Nicole did love each other a lot and still do.

Blue Valentine is more visceral / raw, Star is Born is too, but Marriage Story feels more "ordinary" and or even banal, giving those moments a real-world credibility that really fucked me up

i think the smaller moments that happen to Charlie are what got me. Things like
just that feeling of not having the same worth and being replaceable.
