The Romantic Comedy Starring Marisa Tomei Sparks a Conversation About Relationships, Red Flags, and Trusting Your Instincts
You’re Dating a Narcissist!, the acclaimed romantic comedy feature starring Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei, Sherry Cola, and Ciara Bravo, will screen in Washington, DC on Wednesday, June 24 at the Angelika Film Pop Up at Union Market. The invitation-only event will be hosted by Angelika Film Pop Up at Union Market, Modern Luxury DC, and Union Market District, and will include a post-screening Q&A with filmmaker Ann Marie Allison and actress Ciara Bravo.
Additional guests are expected to include Washington, DC-based artist and activist Maggie O’Neill, whose artwork appears in the film, along with members of the filmmaking team.
The June 24 screening is a private event for invited guests, media, community leaders, artists, and supporters. Additional public programming, including a public screening and related events, will be announced separately.
Now available to rent or purchase on Prime Video, Apple TV+, Fandango at Home, and other major platforms, You’re Dating a Narcissist! arrives in Washington just weeks after World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day and fresh off a successful theatrical and streaming release.
The film follows Judy Kaplan (Marisa Tomei), a sharp-tongued psychology professor obsessed with spotting narcissists, who flies across the country determined to expose her daughter’s seemingly perfect fiancé as a fraud. What begins as a mission to save her daughter quickly becomes a heartfelt and hilarious journey about love, intuition, and learning when to let go.
“I wanted to make a film that could make people laugh while also helping them recognize relationship patterns that are often difficult to name,” said writer-director Ann Marie Allison. “At its heart, it’s a story about trusting yourself, finding your voice, and realizing you’re not alone.”
In a city that knows something about power, charm, and people who rewrite the rules to suit themselves, the screening offers a timely opportunity to laugh, connect, and engage in a conversation about relationships, red flags, and reclaiming your instincts.
Allison’s companion book, You’re Dating a Narcissist!,is also available now. Written in the voice of Dr. Judy Kaplan, the no-nonsense relationship expert portrayed by Tomei in the film, the humorous self-help guide translates narcissist nonsense into plain English. Through real-life stories, practical advice, and Judy’s signature wit, the book helps readers identify red flags, establish healthier boundaries, and trust themselves again. A Washington, DC book signing for Allison’s companion guide, You’re Dating a Narcissist!, is planned for later that week, with details to be announced.
Written and directed by Ann Marie Allison and co-written by Jenna Milly, You’re Dating a Narcissist! stars Marisa Tomei, Sherry Cola, Ciara Bravo, Marco Pigossi, and José María Yazpik. The film was produced by Allison, Jorge García Castro, and The Wonder Company.
