The smartest movie about 30-something sex and marriage since 'Sex, Lies, and Videotape.'"
AMY TAUBIN

"A superb first fiction feature by Dana Adam Shapiro."
HOWARD FEINSTEIN (Filmmaker)

"With the kicky, voyeuristic tension of DePalma's "Blow Out" and the artistic thrills of Antonioni's "Blow-Up," Shapiro's film is as titillating cerebrally as it is otherwise."

STEPHEN SAITO (IFC.COM)

"Monogamy is that rarest of beasts, an actual grown-up movie about sexual desire, repression, and obsession. Chris Messina and Rashida Jones are astonishingly good in the leading roles, sharing an easy, relaxed chemistry and a sense of shared history. In its own quiet way, it’s a marvelous picture."
JASON BAILEY (DVD Talk)

"Shot with handheld cameras in numerous sections of downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn, the film captures its hipster milieu with visual panache. In his first leading role, Chris Messina is thoroughly believable conveying his character's inner confusion, and Rashida Jones brings beautifully subtle grace notes to her less showy role."
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"As a director and writer, Shapiro demonstrates a knack for authenticity -- not surprising, given his background -- that makes Monogamy a thoughtful and engrossing character study."
ERIC D. SNIDER (Cinematical)

"With elegant cinematography, an excellent sense of place within New York, an inventive score and a well-rounded supporting cast, Monogamy has the look and feel of something that could expand well beyond the festival."
KATEY RICH (Cinema Blend)

"Shapiro is fearless in his pursuit of the seedier side of pre-nuptial stress."
