20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2019

9. The Argument - Marriage Story

Marriage Story Adam Driver
Netflix

Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story is a devastating examination of a marriage breaking down, elevated by both its savage emotional honesty and terrific performances from Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson.

By far the most memorable - and honestly, shocking - scene is a fiery confrontation between Charlie (Driver) and Nicole (Johansson), culminating in Charlie explosively shouting at Nicole, "Every day I wake up and I hope you're dead. Dead like, if I could guarantee [their son] Henry would be OK, I'd hope you'd get an illness, and get hit by a car and die."

It's a deeply raw and upsetting moment, and one expertly performed by both Driver and Johansson, perfectly crystallising the emotional brutality of divorce and what it can bring out in people.

If Adam Driver wins the Best Actor Oscar next year - and he probably will - this is the awards reel clip right here.
