Happiness Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Happiness is a caustic, beautiful, funny, tiresome, and brilliant Molotov cocktail.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
What makes this movie so effective is how it humanizes characters who are often marginalized or dehumanized by society. It shows us that the reason we hate people like this is not because they are so different from us, but because of our shared humanity.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Jas Keimig
The world of Happiness is a bit off-kilter, which creates distance between you and the film. But if you look closer, you might get a glimpse of your own pathetic desires and contradictions.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
As sharp as some of the writing is, Solondz is still not enough of a director to successfully negotiate this emotional minefield.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Exhibits an almost pitch-perfect balance between condescension and compassion.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
"Happiness" is tough stuff -- quietly confrontational, genuinely haunting, and, most disturbing of all, unexpectedly moving.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
By far Solondz's best film, an original exploration of American suburban angst, with three Chekhovian sisters at the center and a gallery of "deviant" characters that are presented with humor in non-judgmental way.
Movie Gurus
James O'Ehley
It'll soon have you quoting German existential philosophers in coming to terms with it . . .
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is not a film for most people. It is certainly for adults only. But it shows Todd Solondz as a filmmaker who deserves attention, who hears the unhappiness in the air and seeks its sources.
Salon.com
Jonathan Lethem
I, for one, would be thrilled to see Solondz's heart open in his future work. But it would be a mistake to flinch from the greatness of Happiness in the meantime.
