“We are thrilled to release ‘Marriage 2.0’ on another platform for even more people to be able to enjoy this unique experience in cinema,” said “Marriage 2.0” screenwriter and producer Magnus Sullivan. “‘Marriage 2.0’ is a new kind of film – a marriage of independent cinema and adult entertainment that creates a realistic and intriguing story about a couple in search of a new way to define what a ‘successful’ relationship’ is.”
Adam & Eve Director of Business Development Bob Christian stated, “‘Marriage 2.0’ is unlike any movie on the market, and so we took a very untraditional approach to its release. From its online premiere to the various festivals and public screenings, the film has always been met with excitement. Now the DVD release will allow an even wider audience to enjoy ‘Marriage 2.0,’ while purchasing it from their local adult retailer or favorite e-tail site.”
Since its world premiere on AdamAndEveTV.com in February, the film has captured the attention of film reviewers and writers across the globe, who hailed its production, performances, and unique elements.
Iconic sex educator and filmmaker Tristan Taormino discussed “Marriage 2.0” on her VoiceAmerica™ radio show, “Sex Out Loud.” Taormino said, “It’s different than anything out there…There’s really strong acting…[The actors] have taken their craft to a whole other level…The cinematography is absolutely stunning. This has the production values of a mainstream film and even better than many independent films…Spectacular!”
“Go run out and see this film – buy it!” added Taormino.
Gareth May, a contributing writer for British lifestyle and culture site TheDebrief.co.uk, described “Marriage 2.0” as “a potential game changer for the porn industry.” May wrote, “The movie is most remarkable for its limited use of hardcore sex…’Marriage 2.0’ is a very different kind of porn film.”
Salon’s Tracy Clark-Flory said, “It’s a far more attractive and better-acted porn film than most. But it’s the focus on incorporating the explicit sex scenes into a well-developed narrative that really makes it stand out.”
“This film is a legitimate achievement,” wrote SFist.com contributor Joe Kukura. “It’s definitely a movie you will talk about after you watch it,” concurred Badoink.com writer Vanessa Pinto.
