"An all-time classic! This film explores the intricacies and complexities of marriage through the seemingly perfect relationship of Johan and Marianne. On the surface, everything is perfect. But their happiness is really a façade for unresolved conflicts and deep seeded issues being swept under the rug. It’s interesting that people were so blown away by “Marriage Story” when “Scenes from a Marriage” has existed for almost 50 years and tackles the same themes in more nuanced ways. There is an original TV version that is 5 episodes (Criterion Channel) and there is a theatrical cut (HBO Max). I recommend the TV version but both cuts are fantastic! "
