Ian L You have to be on another level mentally to find any joy or entertainment in this---and I'm a nihilist. I have one rule---don't mess with children, let alone make entertainment out of such depravity. I stay football stadiums away from anything the filmmaker has made since. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Yash B "Happiness" is a completely original movie that is a one-of-a-kind viewing experience. This movie is so aggressively bleak and bizarre, yet also super disturbing and even darkly humorous. It brings some challenging ideas to the forefront, which at the time of its release were controversial, but I think it is certainly worth exploring. The film aims to showcase some really awful characters and how their desires are similar to most human beings in a twisted way. I think the writing in this movie is exceptional and the performances are unforgettable. I do feel the movie goes really far in a lot of ways, but also it makes sense why it wants to push boundaries. Overall, it is a movie that will certainly leave an impact on me and while it is a polarizing watch, I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates risky and bold cinema.

The fact that it was, and so well, is a testament to Todd Solondz' genius. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review Tera K This film is uncomfortable to watch at times and I definitely wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but is overall very witty and well done. Todd Solondz is a talented director and had the advantage of a great cast, all of the actors played their characters perfectly. Despite my positive review, I do have to say that I felt some of the disturbing scenes went a bit overboard. The acting was good as I mentioned, but it was almost TOO good and realistic to the point where I felt like I was eavesdropping on something I shouldn't. I feel the film would've been even better had some the scenes been toned down a bit, however of course it's not my decision to make. All that aside though, "Happiness" was uniquely strange in a pleasant way and I enjoyed it a lot!
