The Contrarians127 - Marriage Story

Rich white people have feelings too, and that’s okay. What’s not okay is pretending their lifestyle is relatable to us common folk. Basically, if any of us was married to Scarlett Johansson and she wanted to move to L.A., we’d say, sure, anything you want, dear. Nevertheless, MARRIAGE STORY became a critical darling and now Alex and Julio have to take it down a peg. It’s Noah Baumbach’s long-awaited debut on The Contrarians! Will he sink the show with his high-falutin dialogue, his heavy-handed symbolism, and his overall pretentiousness? Only one way to find out!
