Scenes from a Marriage (2021) | Reviews

Beautiful people devolve into ugly, near-unbearably intimate arguments in this remake of the Ingmar Bergman miniseries. Isaac and Chastain should appear in a project together every few years for the rest of their lives.

The Telegraph

I found myself repeatedly impressed by the craft and technique's sheer blunt-force impressiveness, yet awkwardly, even guiltily, unmoved.

Decider

Scenes From A Marriage works simply because of Chastain and Isaac. Can we put up with the depressing story just to see their performances? The jury is still out on that.

Stuff

Updated for a new generation and modern sensibilities with equally thought-provoking and engrossing results.

Rolling Stone

As a showcase for the deep talents and remarkable chemistry of its stars, it can be one hell of a thing.

Variety

What's left is to watch the fireworks as Chastain and Isaac immolate one another, and those are indeed spectacular.

IndieWire

Curious to watch in contrast to Bergman's original, just as it's tender craft and measured performances make it easy to admire.

Hollywood Reporter

Regardless of my skepticism toward Levi's reasons for undertaking this remake, he is a tremendous performance-driven director...

Time Magazine

It's a better-than-average TV show adapted from a masterpiece that you can still watch in the comfort of your all-too-delicately constructed home.

RogerEbert.com

Doesn't always match the intensity of Chastain's and Isaac's performances. But when they burn white-hot, it's difficult to look away.

The New York Times

It's a bucket of cold water on a story whose purpose is body-temperature intimacy.

Paste

It's a master class that deserves recognition, and both actors reach the depth required to sell the dialogue. I just wish the material was worthy of their talents.

Salon

Watching Isaac and Chastain impressively tango, spar, and exchange carefully choreographed fireworks displays is enough of a reason to take in Scenes From a Marriage.

CNN

It's possible to admire the artistry and hard work that went into this production without feeling truly engaged by it, either emotionally or intellectually.
