I can't yet comment on his acting in the latest Star Wars Movie, but I can confidently confirm that Adam Driver is pretty flippin' good in this 2019 version of Kramer v Kramer. Scarlett Johansson is excellent and how great to see Alan Alda and Ray Liotta play powerful supporting roles.

P.S. rubbish title for a film, though..

I agree about Adam Driver, it certainly proves that he has a good range and isn’t typecast. I am surprised at how much I enjoyed this film, not just for the narrative but for the splendid direction and acting too.

Very good movie- I'm not normally a fan of either of the leads but this sad tale was utterly riveting from beginning to end
