I had it lower on my list out of the films nominated because of Kramer VS Kramer and because it's not particularly original. Perhaps because I see this sort of story play out in my real life with friends in a similar situation.
Perhaps I should not but I give a little more credit to more ambitious and riskier efforts like JoJo Rabbit or even the Joker or 1917 or Pnce Upon a Time in Hollywood. Even if these films fail in a number of ways - they reach for a little bit more and take more risks than a Marriage Story, Little Women or The Irishman.
So do we take a low risk film that hits at 100% or a film that takes more risks in ambition and maybe hits at 80%
I had issues with Parasite but I do feel it was a more ambitious film in terms of ideas and visuals and storytelling. So I rank it a bit higher than Marriage Story or Irishman etc.
