Press Quotes

Latvian filmmaker Signe Baumane quietly delivered one of the best female resistance films of the year -- and it's animated... My Love Affair With Marriage is an exuberant and complex movie about the journey to female rebellion.

     —Candice Frederick, Huffington Post

Funny, moving, and visually stunning throughout, it's easily one of the most distinct animated films I've seen in quite a while and it serves as a needed reminder that animation is an art form that can be used for more than family-oriented narratives.

     —Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com

A joyfully exuberant piece of work that manages to conduct some serious examination of human behavior whilst always being nothing less than gloriously entertaining. Many of its themes of gender, identity and conformity also seem incredibly timely.

     —Laurence Boyce, Cineuropa

Unafraid to reveal our innermost thoughts, fears, hopes, regrets, mistakes, and dreams. It celebrates unfiltered authenticity with clever writing and delightful visuals. It's an outstanding feminist film that will undoubtedly win over audiences everywhere

     —Liz Whittemore, ReelNewsDaily

Written and directed with wild imagination... It's a moody, unpredictable tale of love and loss, stuffed with vivid metaphors. It is remarkably beautiful.

     —Natalia Winkelman, The New York Times

With its fine mix of dark humor, healthy anger and self-compassion, this portrait of the artist as a young woman is the work of an inspired filmmaker

     —Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter

A masterclass in human behavior

     —Jamie Lang, CartoonBrew
