portrait of a serial monogamist release date

The film has a great script, great actors, and really incredible directors, but now they need the funds. When Elsie breaks up with her long-standing girlfriend, she is forced to confront herself, the prospect of being single for the first time and the possibility that she broke up with the one she is meant to be with.

Set in Toronto, Portrait of a Serial Monogamist tells the story of Elsie Neufeld, a 40 something television producer who is charming, successful and a complete mess when it comes to relationships. There’s a new lesbian romantic comedy in the works!

LGBTQ Television Guide: What To Watch Now.

No surprise here, the script is based on SATC writer Liz Tuccillo’s book. Single often appears to be a Sex and the City retread, including a character catch-up montage straight from the HBO series. Lesley Mann gives the flick its funniest, most engaging performance as workaholic doctor Meg, who’s shocked to feel motherhood pangs while resisting an ardent younger guy (Jake Lacy).Īlison Brie pops in and out as an afterthought as a strategic online dater, while Wilson gets shoved aside for a whirl of mating and dating.

Rebel Wilson’s Robin acts as spirited opener and punch line as good-time-girl guide to singleton Alice’s (Dakota Johnson, proving her bland Fifty Shades of Grey turn was no fluke) examination of the uncoupled life. Unsure what kind of movie it wants to be, How To Be Single is a messy mix of everything, burying the final, genuinely felt 20 minutes that could have saved this intermittently amusing, sloppily made rom-com. Starring Rebel Wilson, Dakota Johnson, Leslie Mann and Alison Brie. Nina: “Sure, but I’ve kept my standards.” How much better this could have been, if the Blaines had exploited the dark satiric potential of exchanges like these: But there’s only so far you can go with red waterproofed sheets and a kinky sense of romance, especially when Nina insists on taunting Holly. Neither Rob nor Holly are terribly shocked by this scenario, and in fact demonstrate great British pluck in coping with it. Co-worker Holly (Abigail Hardingham) tries to fill his lonely bed, but undead Nina still claims it, bloody sheets and all. Nina (Fiona O’Shaughnessy) expired in a car crash that left her boyfriend Rob (Cian Barry) suicidal. Writers/directors Ben and Chris Blaine do just that with this single-shock premise, about a girlfriend who won’t stop clinging, even after death. You shouldn’t muddle about the boring middle. You can go for the laughs or go for the chills with a high-concept horror like Nina Forever.

Written and directed by Ben and Chris Blaine. Starring Fiona O'Shaughnessy, Abigail Hardingham and Cian Barry.
