A Quiet Little Marriage


We had a great time at this year’s Sundance and Slamdance Film Festivals. We watched several great movies, including “Tyson”, “Rudo y Cursi” and Pierce Brosnan’s “The Greatest”.

The film we liked the best, though, was “A Quiet Little Marriage”, a wacky dramedy, about a couple who is very much in love, but at odds on whether or not to have children. That issue combined with problems dealing with their emotionally draining families, makes Olive want a child even more, while setting Dax on a mission to avoid paternity. Their opposing opinions lead to some drastic actions and counteractions, which are both horrifying and entertaining.

We weren’t surprised when “A Quiet Little Marriage” won Slamdance’s Grand Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature. The feature competition is limited to first-time filmmakers working with production budgets under $1 million.

Congratulations to writer-director Mo Perkins for the well deserved award!
