'Marriage Story' memes are helping the internet cope with their broken hearts
Marriage Story, a film in which a previously loving relationship disintegrates over 136 painful minutes, looks like an absolutely miserable time. Though the film was well-received by critics, it's hard to gear yourself up for spending over two hours marinating in emotional distress.
Fortunately, we're at least getting some good memes out of the movie.
Arriving on Netflix this week, Marriage Story follows Charlie and Nicole Barber (Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson) as they navigate their divorce and custody of their son, complete with tears and angry yelling. In one particular scene, the couple get into a screaming match over things divorcing people commonly scream over. The argument escalates to a point where Charlie punches a hole in the wall — very alarming but also very dramatic.
