This film shows how pathetic you are.a couple has been together since childhoodtheir gay friends convince anna to go to bed with other men. her husband pretends to like itthey decide to do it and walk the painful road.

A woman on the brink of a marriage proposal is told by a friend that she should date other men before spending the rest of her life with her boyfriend. Permission is another film that wastes both Dan Stevens and Rebeca Hall as actors and just from the first scene alone showcased of how bad it was going to be and it was even worse than i expected. (0/10)

I felt so disturbed the next day after watching this movie. Every mans' fear is that his lover could be swept away by a better lover and more interesting man. This movie moved me because I related....still disturbed.

Long term, exclusive couple test their relationship by sleeping around! What could go wrong? Plenty of course, but "Permission" is more than a quirky, guilty pleasure premise. Heck it's not even a comedy. As our adorable love birds take their first baby steps outside of their cage, there is, dread, apprehension, fear, but mostly there is excitement. How Anna and Will deal with their suddenly evolving world is decent fodder for a serious movie, yet it is another couple that steals the show. Anna's baby craving brother and his reluctant boyfriend offer up a better plot line. Sometimes juicy don't cut it. This really is a tale of two couples, and unravelling the daily intimacy and neurosis of both relationships, with some terrific performances, is where "Permission" works best. It's a messy film with a whole lot goin' on, but manages to entertain while posing some interesting questions.
