Release

Marriage 2.0 had its public theatrical premiere on May 2, 2015.[4] On May 19, 2015 it was screened at the University of California, Santa Barbara as part of their Film and Media Studies course.[5]

Reception

British writer Gareth May, in an article for the British lifestyle and culture site TheDebrief, described the film as "a potential game changer for the porn industry."[6] Salon's writer Tracy Clark-Flory wrote "it’s a far more attractive and better-acted porn film than most. But it’s the focus on incorporating the explicit sex scenes into a well-developed narrative that really makes it stand out."[2] The un-rated version of the film received the Best Narrative award at New York’s 2015 CineKink Film Festival,[5][7] and was awarded Movie of the Year at the 2015 Feminist Porn Awards.[5]
