Smart, successful, and charming, Elsie is the perfect girlfriend; she also happens to be a serial monogamist, with a long history of broken hearts. When Elsie breaks up with her long-standing girlfriend to pursue another woman, she faces her mother’s disapproval, conflicting advice from friends, and the nagging suspicion that she may have made a big mistake. Set in the Parkdale neighborhood of Toronto, Portrait of a Serial Monogamist invites audiences to peek behind the curtain to a world of smart, funny and relatable queer characters, dealing with the universal complications of modern relationships. Not another coming out story, this is a fresh coming-of-middle-age romantic comedy.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative not as a coming-out drama, but as a nuanced exploration of the fear of being alone and the perpetual chase for 'the one.' It relies on witty dialogue and authentic, flawed characters that feel immediately recognizable.

What lingers after the credits is a refreshing take on the rom-com genre, where humor and charm coexist with genuine emotional depth. It’s a story about coming-of-middle-age that feels both specific and universally relatable. — MovieFinder Editorial
