Kramer vs. Kramer - The poster, theme, design, Adam driver's haircut and clothes (Dustin Hoffman), the baroque music, New York street scenes, the name of the kid was Henry (Justin Henry was the kid in Kramer). The similarities to Kramer vs. Kramer are endless.

Ingar Bergman films, especially Fanny and Alexander which this film copies shot by shot in the bed scene. Take a look:

Fanny and Alexander: http://magicofstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Fanny-and-Alexander-e1546388213584.jpg

Also Scenes from a Marriage (1973).

All that Jazz (1979) - The theater scenes in the beginning and the Adam Driver singing at the end.

Did I miss anything?

Great film by the way. Even though it was inspired by the films above -- Noah made it into his own film.

it actually reminded me most of this film, though this one wasn't as comedic

I saw Shoot the Moon two weeks ago. Lovely film. I'm curious to know which elements you found similar between the two?

[–] hotjam2 (60) 5 years ago

Marriage Story wasn’t exactly copying the other, but both seemed similar about disintegrated marriages both men wanted To un subconsciously go back to before they cheated on their spouses

That's a good point.

Both great movies.

Anyone remember a little film called War of the Roses?
Played more for comedy, but still, black comedy that felt similar to this.

This was very difficult to watch. So many bad and fake people. The only people who win are the lawyers.
