Netflix Originals often find themselves (regardless of how unfair it may be) lumped by many into a sub-theater quality category for lesser movies. They certainly have their share of stinkers (just like the big screen). But I’ve found several Netflix films that I not only loved but that made my year end Top 10 list. Not to mention Netflix offers a great platform for independent filmmakers who can easily get lost in the blockbuster-soaked theater landscape.
Take indie filmmaker Noah Baumbach and his latest movie “Marriage Story”. Netflix produced and distributed, this comedy-drama stars Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver as a couple on the outs. Interestingly two trailers were dropped, one from her perspective and one from his. As a fan of Baumbach and a bigger fan of Driver, this could really be good. And hopefully this will be a case of Netflix actually getting their marketing right.
“Marriage Story” makes a few festival stops before releasing on Netflix later this year. Check out both trailers below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
I love Adam Driver so I am most definitely sold on this, even though Baumbach can be mostly a miss for me. Hopefully it works
Baumbach doesn’t always hit his mark for me either, but even his misses have a strange appeal to me.
I’d see this, love Scarlett.
I’m really anxious for it.
I saw the trailers for these and they look intense. Plus, Noah Baumbach, Adam Driver, and Scar-Jo 3:16….
Such a good cast. Can’t wait to see this.
Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow’s gonna be awesome 🖤
❤️💛💙💜
Looks interesting. Adam Driver has to be one of the best actors around and its always good to see Scarlett Johansson in more “independent” films.
For sure. And how many films has Driver been in this year? I swear it seems like four or five. I’m not complaining.
Nor me! I saw him in Dead Don’t Die but his performance in Paterson is something else! So moving without actually doing very much.
Yes! LOVED him in Paterson!
Ah, cheers for sharing this. I love Noah Baumbach’s movies, especially The Life Aquatic and the Meyerowitz Stories. Plus Adam Driver! This one’s a must watch for me. 🙂
Same here. The wait shouldn’t be long.
