	Media	Author	Review
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"The entertaining blend of quirky absurdism and behavioural neuroscience echoes Baumane’s approach to her family’s history of depression in her previous film"
		Martin Kudlac Screen Anarchy	"'My Love Affair With Marriage' is a frank exploration of mythology of love that finds satisfaction outside the holy matrimony"
		Natalia Winkelman The New York Times	"A moody, unpredictable tale of love and loss, stuffed with vivid metaphors, Soviet period detail and pedagogical sequences about the physiology of love"
		Laurence Boyce Cineuropa	"A heady brew of influences, ideas and styles (...) A joyfully exuberant piece of work that manages to conduct some serious examination of human behaviour whilst always being nothing less than gloriously entertaining"
		Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Droll and vibrant (...) 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, and it was worth the wait"
		Alissa Simon Variety	"A humorous but hard-hitting animation for adults about the thing we call love"
