Dealing with divorce in ‘Marriage Story’

From the very first scene of “Marriage Story,” you can tell you’re in good hands. If you go to the movies a lot, you know what I mean: that nameless, soaring feeling you get when you realize you’re watching something special. But what makes “Marriage Story” particularly exciting isn’t just that this realization comes so soon; it’s that it comes from a filmmaker well over a decade in waiting. Writer/director Noah Baumbach has plenty of indie gems on his résumé (including “Frances Ha,” a fantastic little film starring Greta Gerwig), but “Marriage Story” feels different, like a kind of second coming — a movie too good to be ignored.

‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,’ indeed

Despite having aired its final episode nearly 20 years ago, there’s something about “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and its titular, real-life protagonist that seems particularly relevant today. Just last year, Oscar-winning documentarian Morgan Neville explored Fred Rogers’ life and legacy in “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” a poignant film that implored its audience to try a little kindness because the world needs our kindness now more than ever. It was a very special film that could melt the heart of anyone who watched it. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
