Review: A masterful Marriage Story emotionally devastates its characters (and you) Like the Saving Private Ryan of divorce dramedies Marriage Story puts its audience into the thick of all the complicated feelings bitter domestic rumbles and lawyer fees that come with such a dissolution with enough hopeful and hilarious moments to balance out the emotional devastation. Writer/director NoahBaumbachs spectacular effort ( out of four; rated R; streaming on Netflix now) is a highlight reel for ever
