The Marriage Act
By John Marrs
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


What if marriage was the law? Dare you disobey?

Britain. The near-future. A right-wing government believes it has the answer to society’s ills – the Sanctity of Marriage Act, which actively encourages marriage as the norm, punishing those who choose to remain single.

But four couples are about to discover just how impossible relationships can be when the government is monitoring every aspect of our personal lives, tracking every word, every minor disagreement . . . and will use every tool in its arsenal to ensure everyone will love, honour and obey.

This was good and strangely disturbing! It really showed the worst i people and the lengths we as humans will go to to get what we want. Also scarily the trust we put in our government. Gave me chills in parts. But seriously my heart broke with Arthur and June just totally broke.

Real disturbing story of a marriage gone bad. It's has similarities to Gone Girl but it still very original. Not entirely the most sound story but it works.

"This one was fun, flirty, sassy, and I adored the different take on the best friend’s brother and fake marriage. And the hero and heroine are ren faire nerds—need I say more?"

"I’m relatively new to Bergman, but I think Scenes from a Marriage could be used to measure the seriousness of a person who describes a film as “intense.” This is actually intense. It shows a marriage in various states of disintegration and settles on an impasse so brutal and earnest that it’s almost hard to watch. Mad respect to Sweden for putting this on television! Although I just read that apparently divorce rates doubled there the year it was on."

Brilliant album - like a soap opera written with marriage and relationship breakdowns going on in the band, but despite of this, the band kept it going and produced this phenomenal album. (1 more)
It's their best work IMO.
