Critics Consensus

Happily struggles to fully realize its ambitions, but at its best, this intermittently intriguing drama makes pointed -- and frequently funny -- observations about modern relationships.

A few good scenes but meh. Not worth the watch.

Think about something bad... Think again worsening that, and again and again... And that's when you will find something to describe this movie. Just horrifying.

So bad. Trailer looked promising, but the movie was a totally slow boring let down.

Associated Press

The film progresses in horror-film mode before, in its third act, tying things up in a somewhat clever, unexpected way. By then, though, you may have given up on this group.

Rated: 2/4

"Happily" is eager for your attention, but secure enough in its own identity not to require your approval.

Thoroughly enjoyed this very bizarre little movie.

Awards Radar

While seeing all of these comedic actors on a cast list might give you the impression of this being a straightforward comedy, the filmmaker rides this fascinating line between comedy, thriller, and domestic drama that makes it impossible to categorize.

Rated: 2.5/4

In Review Online

With Happily, Grabinski proves that, even in his debut, he is already a master of tone and a serious filmmaker to follow.

Elements of Madness

For my two cents, Happily works by deconstructing our expectations of what a comedy/thriller/love story should be, more so because it asks to be mulled over, to be considered, to thought upon instead of forgotten as soon as the story ends.

Rated: 4/5
