      Yep, I have a feeling Netflix doesn’t really have much involvement in the actual storyline and production, they just fund and make sure it works with their brand name/agenda

    I can see why Adam and Noah are friends 🙂 Both of them are talking about these scenes in a similar way. I could listen to them all night long 🙂

    this was my favorite scene of the movie, it was so heartbreaking and powerful, Ray and Laura truly are powerhouses it was chilling! and so sad, the lack of control of what was being said escalated so fast… it was amazing!

    I loved Joker, Irishman, 1917, Parasite. All were directed by legendary directors. But what Noah did with this movie is amazing to see. I hope he takes home the Oscar for it

    This is easily his best film to date
    Baumbach becomes the new Woody Allan and this tome with mature emotional impact

    Laura Dern’s performance is outstanding 😍

    I cannot believe he didn’t get a best director nomination. Absolutely laughable.

      Orter Minat i know both him and Greta were snubbed for that category

    With this perfect directing he still doesn’t get nominated in that category? The academy and also a lot of people seems not realizing his directing skill, this film is not just perfectly written but Baumbach also keep every details on point that’s why he is a great director. They’ll never know the effort he gave until he describe every element of it which is superb.

    Scarlett deserves the Oscar.

      Amitt Sinha I’m really hoping that she wins

    Can I marry this guy? I love filmmakers. The attention to details, the creativity, how smart they are. You sometimes watch a scene and yes it causes an emotional impact in you but you don’t realize all the hard work and thought that gets into developing such scenes. He deserved an Oscar nomination for Best direction, for sure.

    Adam Driver is truly a phenomenal actor

  16. Benjamin Venegas

    January 28, 2020 at 7:05 pm

    And no point did he consider casting actors who are in their sixties and seventies and ‘deaging’ them through CG.

      This would seem like a choice not even worth applauding, but…

    Should’ve been nominated over Todd Phillips

    I want a spinoff of the subplot of the sick judge

    Never explained why the Judge doesn’t like cricket, does anyone know?
