A film that certainly makes us think of our own views of relationships and romance, but that doesn’t always answer the questions it raises.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2023

While ultimately unfulfilling, Mark, Mary & Some Other People acts as an empathetic, honest snapshot of the current dating scene, one that will be looked back on as quaint someday even as the same issues crop up decades from now under a new guise.

| Jun 6, 2023

The script may fail to realistically explore the depths of polyamory, but thanks to dreamy chemistry between its two young leads and some genuinely funny scenes, Mark, Mary & Some Other People proves itself more than worth your while.

| Mar 8, 2022

After starting out as a clever and somewhat progressive spin on millennial relationships, this low-budget romantic comedy turns labored and predictable.

| Nov 12, 2021

If at first it threatens to be a "These millennials are so annoying to everyone but themselves" experience, by the end I found myself thinking that the sky might be the limit for Marks' future behind the camera.

Marks is a sharp and funny observer of today's youth paradox: How can her generation build stability on a foundation of temp jobs, shifting social mores and the suspicion that the entire planet might collapse before they cash in their 401(k)s?

| Original Score: A- | Nov 4, 2021

Maybe if Marks' screenplay wasn't so harsh while depicting polyamory, the film would've been a solid recommendation, but as it stands, it's an entertaining yet shallow time.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 3, 2021

The film remains amusing and spry even as it coasts along a path that will feel familiar to most rom-com fans...

There are stand-outs, but the imbalance in the casting makes the romance and open marriage even less believable than the young characters' naivete about relationships.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 15, 2021

Written and directed by Hannah Marks, Mark, Mary & Some Other People has excellent comedic timing, heartfelt affection, and quirky characters that bring it to life.

| Jul 7, 2021

Marks' sophomore outing can be quite charismatic and fun, but it's a misfire when it comes to exploring the couple and their attempts at polyamory.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 5, 2021

It's like being invited to a feeble Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice-themed party that fizzles.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 23, 2021

[It's a] very flawed swinger sex comedy made by and for people who want a movie where interracial spouses don't talk about race, and Hispanics in Los Angeles are underrepresented ... The movie is a clumsy mismatch of being very woke and very tone-deaf.

| Jun 23, 2021

It's refreshing to see progressive romantic comedies become more mainstream, especially with characters that are so relatable (aka have flaws).

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 22, 2021

Mark, Mary & Other Peopleis another solid film from the splendid Hannah Marks.

| Jun 22, 2021

Hannah Mark's humor, emotion and subtlety in the story was the strongest element of this exceptionally contemporary film, especially its risky and almost perfect conclusion.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 21, 2021

The majority of the film is fun, charming, and witty -- but the third act takes an unexpected turn that, while a harsh reality, is likely to have most viewers upset.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 20, 2021

The humor and the love story at its heart are utterly delightful. Despite some final act problems, Mary, Mary, and Some Other People is a lovely indie, sure to charm anyone who discovers it.

| Jun 19, 2021

The filmmakers...feel like they're just fucking around and seeing what happens, which makes the heavy stuff feel profoundly unearned.

| Jun 18, 2021

Mark, Mary & Some Other People finds comfort and empathy in the story of two people still attempting to figure it out.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 16, 2021
