Reception

Tony Johnston from the Herald Sun wrote "These sound like lofty ideals for any sort of engrossing telemovie, but in the hands of Friels, director Robert Marchand (Kangaroo Palace, The Potato Factory), and a generally strong supporting cast, Marriage Acts succeeds as a compelling piece of drama." ^[3] The Age's Brian Courtis gave it 3 stars praising the performances from Friels and Sonia Todd. ^[4]
