This is a movie that deserves to be discovered, to be recommended to friends, and to develop a cult following that lingers on. It's just too much fun to settle for less.

This is not your typical “bank robbery gone wrong” kind of movie, nor does it follow the familiar beats of a Bonnie and Clyde-style “lovers on the lam” story. “Marmalade” is a strange mix of its own, launching the rom com criminal premise to thrilling heights.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

What a fun, unexpected ride. Loved reading about it on Collidar. Real Gem. It looks original and cast is amazing.

Marmalade is one wild ride, as long as you're willing to stick with it.

A Gen-Z Bonnie and Clyde, Marmalade takes big, admirable swings, and while it misses some, it avoids the cardinal sin of being boring.

The stars are toothsome and have a fizzy chemistry, while the ending is surprisingly poignant for all its corniness.

Marmalade is the kind of just okay, middle-of-the-road, nearly inventive but still mostly derivative indie that at least has the decency to be only 90 minutes.

In essence, Marmalade pretends to be more dunderheaded than it is, then acts as if it’s been smart all along, in a shift that takes it from insulting to incoherent.
