"Marriage Story" is no "Kramer vs. Kramer"
"Marriage Story" is a narrow-minded and heavy-handed attempt to examine the complexity of human relationships.
The Face of the Ash
In a small Kurdish village in northern Iraq, Abdulrahman prepares for his nephew Serwan's wedding. However, the happy day is soured when the sudden news of his nephew's death on the battlefield arrives. While he cleans and dresses the corpse, he notices that the man wasn't circumcised. Serwan was the son of the only Christian in the village, Noeill, and this couldn't be possible. They search for the old man who performed the circumcision, but he doesn't have a clear answer for them, and the identity of the body remains an unsolved mystery.

'We Can Be Heroes': Fun If You're a Kid (or Remember Being One)
A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
