"A wry dramedy that refuses to placate us with easy answers or condescension." — Hannah Strong, Little White Lies

"Matt and Mara is one of those films in which very little concrete happens, but the tingling possibility that something might makes it compelling." — Wendy Ide, Screen International

"A careful, considered and considerate film..." — Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Alliance of Women Film Journalists


When Mara (Campbell), a young creative writing professor, reunites with Matt (Johnson), a charismatic, free-spirited author from her past, a chance encounter threatens to spin her life in a thrilling new direction. Bonded by their history and shared interests, the two grow closer, while Mara contends with her strained marriage to an experimental musician. When her husband unexpectedly cancels plans to drive Mara to a conference out of town, Matt accompanies her instead and the pressure in their undefined relationship slowly builds.
