What do I know, Marriage Story ended up earning six Golden Globe nominations yesterday..........

Dolemite is My Name on Netflix.

I’m surprised by how much I like this film. I was worried Eddie would make a caricature of Rudy Ray Moore, but he didn’t. It was funny and sweet and I look forward to seeing it again.

Eddie did right by Rudy Ray.

I should have added: it's obscene and vulgar (it is about Rudy Ray Moore), but very good.

I'll be surprised if it's nominated for any awards, but it's my favorite film for 2019.

We learned from the Golden Globe nominations that we needed to watch The Politician.

Reviews were not great but i liked it and would recommend. Going to start the Kominsky Method this weekend.

Also I watched The Irishman but not Marriage Story, yet. I will get to it before the Globes ceremony

Moe, I decided to watch Marriage Story after reading your post, which I did this afternoon; however, since I have never been depressed psychologically, I must say, I really liked it, it was - while being both funny and sensitive [had me smiling from time to time] - pretty realistic and very well done - quite an intelligent film, and I think it may very well win a few awards, and I think it is a film that is worth watching.

I am sorry that you felt that way after having watching the film. (I guess - perhaps, not sure, triggers.)

Personally, my parents never divorced - in retrospect, I wish they had!!! It was I who "separated" myself from them... lol (I even had a cousin who used the court system to become an emancipated adult at quite a young age.)

What I really liked about it was the way in which adults come into their own to live their own lives, instead of depending on others to make them feel "alive" and/or happy and/or secure, etc. So, insofar a I am concerned, in many ways, it is an adult film for adults, about relationships and individuals.
