WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Marylandian -- Marriage Story, directed and written by Noah Baumbach, was recently released on Netflix. The film has drawn reactions from people everywhere who have experienced the ups and downs of marriage and divorce both directly and indirectly.

One reaction that offered a unique first-person perspective was that of Matthew Brickman who regularly mediates for divorce in the state of Florida and recent graduate of Harvard Law School Negotiation Mastery Program. It was however, Mr. Brickman's own personal experiences that motivated his strong response to the film.

He made the statement, "This film is outrageously and disgustingly accurate on so many levels."

Mr. Brickman went on to say, "As a husband and father who is divorced, spending twelve years post-divorce, in and out of court, I watched with so many mixed emotions, sadness, nervous anticipation, anger, and even disgust."

He described the film as a must see for all to watch as a depiction of what can happen when you enter a marriage contract. There are relationship dynamics, family dynamics, and legal ramifications at play. The word of advice is to know ahead of time of what you are getting into.

Mr. Brickman also mentioned the depiction of a mediator was not accurate at all but did not go into detail keeping his reaction spoiler-free.
