Late Marriage will assuredly rank as one of the cleverest, most deceptively amusing comedies of the year.
By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW

Powerful and very bitter comedy.
By Stephen Holden FULL REVIEW

One of those welcome visitors, a movie that turns out to be much more than we expected.
By John Petrakis FULL REVIEW

A daring and immediate debut feature for Koshashvili, Late Marriage could lead two likeminded people to opposite conclusions, and that may be its greatest strength.
By Scott Tobias FULL REVIEW
75
Whether this smart, sexy and unsparing film is a hilarious comedy or a poignant drama is a matter of personal opinion — and experience. But if you've ever felt both baffled and blessed by your own family, this "Marriage" is one event you won't want to miss.
By Elizabeth Weitzman FULL REVIEW
70
Late Marriage, though hardly dispassionate, assiduously avoids passing judgment on any of its characters, all of whom are desperately trying to bend the world into conformity with their own narratives and superstitions.
By Ella Taylor FULL REVIEW
50
Late Marriage's stiffness is unlikely to demonstrate the emotional clout to sweep U.S. viewers off their feet.
