Group Marriage (15*)

Hidden Figures: Stephanie Rothman

Two couples lie in bed together.

Rothman’s film unfolds like a proto queer text, as polyamory, gay life and alternative, collective utopian living are delightfully explored in her first fully-fledged comedy.

It’s 1972. Imagine going to a drive-in to catch the latest exploitation movie with promises of sex and nudity (the clue is in the title), but instead you discover a goofy comedy with very little sex. Rothman’s magic trick is to offer a breezy farce about what women and men want from their lovers, work and lives.

Young LA couple Chris (Aimée Eclles) and Sander (Solomon Sturges) want an open relationship but when their twosome becomes a sixsome, and the group decide to legalise their relationship in a ‘group marriage’, they attract media attention which brings trouble, prejudice and a run up against the law.
