It's well made, but it's a hard movie to enjoy. Quite depressing. Rating based on enjoyment, not on overall quality & authenticity as a work of art.

This is a very "YMMV" movie, but I have some personal experiences that made this resonate with me. As a son/father I allowed myself to be emotionally manipulated. There are some really disturbing behind the scenes things with this film though that knock it down a tad. I also have questions about the motivations of the writers as some sections could be embraced by MRAs. Female characters not well developed, questionable legal reasoning. But the Hoffman/Justin Henry scenes are absolute magic.

No. Sorry. Just one of the classics that I don't get. If I want to watch a harrowing divorce and custody drama with explosively emotional acting, I'll take myself to The Marriage Story which feels so incredibly much more relatable and real. I easily forget that Driver and Johansson are acting, whereas in KvsK I'm actively reminded that Streep and Hoffman are performing ActEOurS.

Watching this movie is a good exercise in practicing empathy. Interesting to see how my attitude towards Meryl Streep's character has changed as I've gotten older.

Whew. A movie that seems to hit all the emotions of divorce: disbelief, confusion, anger, and depression (and the overwhelming sense of it all). Interesting that the film showed the father's side more strongly than the mother's. The acting here from the three main characters is outstanding (hence, the Oscar love); I'd usually only give a fourth star if the movie is good enough to re-watch. A bit of a cop-out ending, though.

Terkedilen Ted Joanna'nın mahkemede anlattığı kadar işkoliktiyse, nasıl oluyor da Ted bir anda aile babasına dönüşüyor. Hadi dönüştü. Bir yandan çalışırken tek başına o çocuğa nasıl baktı? Çok daha hızlı kovulması lazımdı. Kovulma zamanlaması fazla Hollywood olmadı mı? Joanna terkedene kadar biraz kavga etseydi arıza çıkarsaydı bak Ted de hemen dönüşebiliyormuş falan. Karakterler çok sığ kalmış bana kalırsa.
