MARRIAGE STORY Cast and Crew Q&A | TIFF 2019

Academy Award nominee Noah Baumbach's incisive and compassionate portrait of a marriage breaking up, and a family staying together, stars Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, and co-stars Laura Dern, Alan Alda, and Ray Liotta.
Revisiting some of the themes that made his Oscar-nominated TIFF 2005 selection The Squid and the Whale so resonant, writer-director Noah Baumbach digs deep into divorce with Marriage Story. Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson - the former also at TIFF this year with The Report, the latter with Jojo Rabbit - deliver some of their richest work as a couple whose once enviable union crumbles under the weight of mounting resentments and divergent needs.
Charlie (Driver) is a playwright who wants to stay in New York. Nicole (Johansson) is an actor who's landed a coveted television role that requires her to relocate to Los Angeles. Their geographical dispute tests an already strained relationship. As Marriage Story begins, the couple's divorce is already underway, with each enlisting legal squads deploying various tactics.
Yet Baumbach's elegant narrative goes back and forth through time, showing how Charlie and Nicole fell in love and built a life together alongside a detailed, blow-by-blow chronicle of their marital dismantling.
Baumbach's wise script goes from Bergmanesque drama, to dark comedy, to surges of suspense, and is complemented by the intimate 35mm camerawork of Robbie Ryan (who also shot Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)), and by the precise, lived-in performances not only of Driver and Johansson, but also of Laura Dern, Alan Alda, and Ray Liotta.
Marriage Story may have an ironic title, but its divorce proceedings double as a moving post-mortem. Sometimes our most profound life choices begin to cohere only in retrospect.

I hope Adam gets an Oscar- not many actors could be this vulnerable and play the little moments so beautifully... he was funny, he was heartbreaking... what a range ♡

[@marisolgarcia3123]

I need to see the performance so I can decide between Adam, Joaquin and Antonio banderas ...for me the front runners ...

[@cegalo12]

Taron Egerton (Rocketman), Joaquin Phoenix (Joker), Leonardo Dicaprio (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), and Adam Driver (Marriage Story) are my favorite male acting performances of this year :D

[@megandunklin6147]

I'm gonna sue someone if Adam doesn't win the Oscar this year. I saw this back in November when Noah was present for the Q&A and cried my eyes out like I have never cried before. This sort of topic was handled with such love and care as it is so sensitive with some many people, including myself. Which is why it is my favourite movie of the year.

Adam’s hug with Noah, really showed how much he hates hugs

[@freddybeer]

[@rabbitfishtv]

Can tiff not afford chairs?

[@raineyj560]

Exactly, I have seen this during other panels featuring cast discussing the movie and I bet they want to sit

[@AssassinNasa16]

I think its because its a screening so as soon as the movie ends they don’t want to waste time bringing the chairs out but just head straight to the Q&A whilst the credits role as thats when the audience may likely have the most pressing questions they want answered

[@boshtovar]

Noah was so nervous.

[@maryamalbloushi9850]

Joshed Up Reviews I won’t blame him 😝

[@marshallvalentino2572]
