A new trailer has been released for the Netflix Oscar contender Marriage Story & somehow this film makes the demise of a relationship look like beautiful storytelling.
Noah Baumbach’s upcoming drama stars Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson as a disintegrating couple engaged in a bitter legal battle for custody of their young son, Henry. Much like the two teaser trailers that were first released, the full trailer begins with Johansson’s L.A.-bound actress, Nicole, and Driver’s New York stage director, Charlie, beautifully discussing each other’s best qualities. Their blissful memories are quickly shattered as the trailer goes on to chronicle their romantic unraveling, which ultimately leads to a bitter divorce.
Marriage Story recently screened as the New York Film Festival’s prestigious Centerpiece selection, a prime awards season slot that has showcased past Oscar contenders like No Country for Old Men (2007), Changeling (2008), Precious (2009), Steve Jobs (2013), and last year’s Roma.
Marriage Story will have a limited theatrical rollout starting November 6 before its streaming debut on Netflix on December 6.
