Netflix viewers are calling Marriage Story a ‘heartbreaking masterpiece’

Netflix viewers have been left "sobbing" and "broken" after watching Marriage Story. 

The movie, starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, had a brief run in cinemas last month. On Friday, it officially arrived on Netflix. From Academy Award nominated filmmaker Noah Baumbach, the film is an incisive and compassionate portrait of a marriage breaking up and a family staying together. Laura Dern, Alan Alda, and Ray Liotta co-star in the movie. And following the film's Netflix release on Friday, fans took to Twitter to praise the "heartbreaking masterpiece". Oh, and to pass on that you're going to need a lot of tissues when you watch it - it's a tearjerker.
