The affection for the past
Couples divorcing and dealing with the heartache of a divorce are all themes in Marriage Story. Scarlett did an excellent job portraying the character, and the pain in her eyes was so real that it was hard to tell if she was acting or if the role had an effect on her.
It’s hardly surprising that the role encouraged the actress to speak up about her own marital background, despite the fact that the plot differs so greatly from Scarlett and Ryan’s story.
