What to Know

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.

Jocelyn Noveck 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 Mar 25, 2021 Full Review David Ehrlich indieWire "Happily" is eager for your attention, but secure enough in its own identity not to require your approval. Rated: B Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Thoroughly enjoyed this very bizarre little movie. Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre 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 Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Steven Warner 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. Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Douglas Davidson 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 Jun 4, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Marcus E A few good scenes but meh. Not worth the watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Elen P 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Chelsea C So bad. Trailer looked promising, but the movie was a totally slow boring let down. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Richard S Interesting plot, both comedic and dramatic, with engaging characters. Acting is first rate. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Riah A This is one of those movies that'll make you ask, "what exactly is the story? Where's the plot?" Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review lisa m An atrocious vile movie, sorry I can't have my time back to spend on something worthwhile. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
