YMMV / Malcolm & Marie

• Audience-Alienating Premise: The entire movie is basically one long argument scene. For many, this is a major turnoff.
• Wangst: Criticism of this movie has fallen under this descriptor for various reasons.
  • When a movie is pretty much just two characters arguing with each other for close to two hours, both of them are bound to wind up running into this trope for some.
  • In both an in-universe and meta sense, a portion of the film is dedicated to Malcolm mouthing off about a white female critic from the LA Times — which became worrisome for many viewers considering that Katie Walsh, a white female critic, gave a scathing review to Levinson's previous film Assassination Nation for the LA Times. This led to the sequence being widely interpreted as Levinson using the movie to bitterly attack Walsh from a perceived inability to take criticism, although he has denied this being the case.
