Scenes from a Marriage (2021)

"I found myself repeatedly impressed by the craft and technique's sheer blunt-force impressiveness, yet awkwardly, even guiltily, unmoved."

"Scenes From A Marriage works simply because of Chastain and Isaac. Can we put up with the depressing story just to see their performances? The jury is still out on that."

"Updated for a new generation and modern sensibilities with equally thought-provoking and engrossing results."

"As a showcase for the deep talents and remarkable chemistry of its stars, it can be one hell of a thing."

"What's left is to watch the fireworks as Chastain and Isaac immolate one another, and those are indeed spectacular."

"Curious to watch in contrast to Bergman's original, just as it's tender craft and measured performances make it easy to admire."

"Regardless of my skepticism toward Levi's reasons for undertaking this remake, he is a tremendous performance-driven director..."

"It's a better-than-average TV show adapted from a masterpiece that you can still watch in the comfort of your all-too-delicately constructed home."

"Doesn't always match the intensity of Chastain's and Isaac's performances. But when they burn white-hot, it's difficult to look away."

"It's a bucket of cold water on a story whose purpose is body-temperature intimacy."

"It's a master class that deserves recognition, and both actors reach the depth required to sell the dialogue. I just wish the material was worthy of their talents."

"Watching Isaac and Chastain impressively tango, spar, and exchange carefully choreographed fireworks displays is enough of a reason to take in Scenes From a Marriage."

"It's possible to admire the artistry and hard work that went into this production without feeling truly engaged by it, either emotionally or intellectually."
