Nothing having to do with either Anita or the marriage itself is as compelling as the love affair between these two men.

This is a solid portrait of time's effect on what we miss, and how we miss.

I could watch The Marriage over and over again. At 90 minutes, it's just so delightfully heartbreaking.

Rated: 9/10

Shadows on the Wall

Director-cowriter Blerta Zegiri creates a strongly naturalistic picture of the people and the situation they're caught up in.

Good movie, and interesting country it was set in. The writing and acting was good and it was an interesting movie. The critics were right on this movie, it is worth watching because it's good.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The idea, in general, is interesting indeed but it's quite disappointing knowing that the story seems lost and quite bland. The sentiment feels inadequate between Anita and Nol, there isn't enough passion revealed. Due to this, the supposedly distressing ending doesn't seem to affect my emotions that much. Fortunately, the acting and directing definitely stands the most.
