A Quiet Little Marriage is a 2008 American independent drama film, written and directed by Mo Perkins in her feature directorial debut.

The supporting cast includes Jimmi Simpson, Charlie Day, and Melanie Lynskey.

When Olive decides she wants a baby—after long since agreeing with husband Dax that they'd never have children—she covertly devises a plan to make it happen.

The story was conceived by Perkins, Ellis and Carter, who had worked together on several short films and become friends.

Variety's John Anderson called it "intimate and genuine ... a movie that creates a convincing and serious portrait [of] marriage",[2] while John Grassi of PopMatters noted its "honest" storytelling, while also praising the cinematography and score.
