"Marriage Story" On Netflix Is A Serious Drama But It Has Provided Us With Some Unintentionally Hysterical Memes

by Elana

Director Noah Baumbach's latest is one of his greatest. A Marriage Story, viewable on Netflix, is an intense emotional roller coaster about the divorce of a stage director and his actor wife.

The emotional movie conveys how divorce impacts the whole family, including the kids and does not leave out the complex legal components or financial frustrations that all come as part of the divorce package.

Prior to the full release of the film, a snippet was released without context. The snippet became playdoh in the hands of Internet meme enthusiasts who have taken it and run utterly wild.

Already, the film has won awards and been nominated for others, but seeing Adam driver in this scene was almost too much for folks to handle. The meme fallout has been delicious.

Prior to viewing the film, one has so many questions.

Namely, we're wondering if it's supposed to be serious, powerful, or amusing over-acting?

It's supposed to be powerful.
