David Lewis San Francisco Chronicle [An] assured, breezy romantic comedy. Mar 31, 2016 Full Review Bruce DeMara Toronto Star The film could have been edgier and more sharply observed. And since it deals with sex and intimacy, a little eroticism would have helped. Rated: 2/4 Feb 12, 2016 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Despite a few inspired moments and some fun banter, "Portrait of a Serial Monogamist" is a slight, often random lesbian comedy that offers little new in the way of authentic depth or enlightenment. Jan 28, 2016 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh Playback:stl ...there's no actual sex in this film, but there is a lot of witty conversation and observational humor, making it a sort of lesbian Seinfeld. Rated: 6/10 Apr 21, 2016 Full Review Abbey Bender L.A. Weekly Portrait of a Serial Monogamist is the kind of movie that proves inconsequential rom-coms aren't just for straight people. Mar 24, 2016 Full Review Chris Knight National Post The film creates its best moments with quiet little details, like when Lolli finds herself the sole shiksa at a Shabbat dinner - it's the mirror image of the dinner scene in Annie Hall. Rated: 3/4 Feb 20, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It's a little rough around the edges, but overall, Portrait of a Serial Monogamist is a light and breezy comedy about a woman who can't commit. The cast is made up of the whose who of Canadian comedy-you know, those people who look familiar, but you can't quite place-and a charming lead in Diane Flacks. Combined with fantastic shots of Toronto in all its constructed glory and a script that treats its audience as conspirators in the story, Portrait of a Serial Monogamist gives us that rare rom com that is sharp, on point and intelligent. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Seeing Toronto and a queer scene outside of the established LGBT neighbourhood is beautiful and complex. Rarely do we get to see a city through the lives lived by its residents- nevermind artists, nevermind women- nevermind dykes!!! This is a unique and smart perspective. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I was pleasantly surprised by this Canadian indie. It is well-written, and very funny, with good performances all around, particularly Diane Flacks in the leading role. A smart romantic comedy that never condescends. It's also a good-looking film, with beautiful cinematography, using Toronto as a central character. Well worth seeing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved this movie! The quirky characters and the portrait of the City of Toronto as well! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
