The Landrys gather for the weekend to fix up their family home in Chicago. Graham (Josh Radnor) really wishes his life was in a better place, especially since he's reconnected with his college crush, Dana (Chandra Russell). Sue (Becky Ann Baker) is looking forward to the next chapter in her life when an incident at her retirement party forces her to question things, including her marriage to complacent Roy (John Ashton). Then, Will (Rob Huebel), the television star blows in. What starts out as a benign family get-together ends up spiraling out of control as some shocking news threatens to tear everything apart.

Little White Lies

The throbbing interpersonal strains intensify with a gentle logic, even if, tonally, the film does sometimes stray into a mid-tier streaming dramady serial at times.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

It’s easygoing and likable if not-quite satisfying, getting by on the natural and relaxed performances.

Rated: 3/5

San Jose Mercury News

It’s a real find that celebrates family but acknowledges it’s never easy for family members to be under the same roof again for an extended amount of time.

Rated: 3/4

Radio Times

Josh Radnor brings an easy-going charm to the role of the middle-aged man-child still waiting for his life to take off.

Rated: 3/5

John Carvill

The Arts Desk

All Happy Families is suffused by an indie sensibility and the warm tones in which it’s filmed are attractive, if a little clichéd. But its scattergun approach and under-written script prevent it from cohering into more than the sum of its parts.

Rated: 2/5

With an eye to behavioural nuance, the film draws strength from its assemblage of closely observed vignettes, wisely resisting the temptation to make statements or wax lyrical about the nature of family life in mid-list suburbia.

Rated: 3/5

The talents of Haroula Rose (Director and Co-writer) and Coburn Goss, Co-writer, bring a strong sense of realism in this family comedic/drama. The excellent acting adds to the credibility of the complex Landry family. This genre of film is lacking in today's marketplace. The risk is the reward for all who venture to take this well done Indie film into their home. Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
