Production
The film was shot during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.
Reception
Film Threat found that the film was "a fascinating glimpse into the modern dating scene during a global pandemic. Each person is engaging in their own right, making discovering who does and does not share chemistry all the more interesting. Thanks to the observational style taken by Shannon Alexander, viewers will be more than happy to live vicariously through these six folks for a moment." A more mixed review, at HighOnFilms, concluded, "And while Alexander tries to be unbiased, rendering a non-judgemental lens to them, you can’t help but notice the unnaturalness in their characters. It is almost as if they are emoting for the camera rather than being themselves. Izzie, Troy, Jack, and Camilla are people who do have a wide range of conclusions to bring to the documentary, but their honest thoughts don’t jell with the kind of mood the film sets off to achieve." Another commentator noted that the film was "entirely back and forth interviews from each of the subjects. We never really get to see each of them in the company of their love interest sharing a genuine moment or interaction to fully appreciate their perspectives. Interestingly also, there isn’t any intention to give us enough details about their backgrounds and specific upbringing to sort of give us a better appreciation for their choices." In a review on BRWC Joel Fisher insisted that, "Misery decides not to show the actual dates, preferring to go for the before and after."
