Dan Sallitt Senses of Cinema 10/17/2018
Beneath the emotive surface of Happiness, its melodrama is inflected with stoical detachment, right up to the beautiful desolation of the final crane shot. Go to Full Review Jeremy Heilman MovieMartyr.com 01/09/2008
46/100
Ultimately, Happiness seems most distinctive not as a specific director's work, but rather as an entry in a distinctly Korean melodramatic subgenre. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/25/2010 Para demostrar que uno es objetivo al criticar cintas asiáticas, pongo my review de Happiness, la cual me dejó esperando más. Tiene un buen elenco y la premisa de la trama era buena. Pienso que una de las fallas fué la dirección donde filmaban escenas a lo lejos cuando debía ser de cerca. Y luego la trama se vuelve tediosa hacia el final de la historia. Lástima. See more 12/12/2009 A very heart touching lovestory. See more 01/17/2009 There are problems with this film by CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST and ONE FINE SPRING DAY director Jin-ho Hur ... virgin purity with terminal disease falls for stereotype hard-drinking jerkball guy and dies happy 'cause he's there at her deathbed ... but it's engaging, well shot and well acted. See more 11/25/2008 Can someone tell these Korean (and Japanese) filmmakers that they should've stopped making these tearjerker craps a long long time ago? Enough is ENOUGH! See more 11/22/2008 Sux what he did to her in the movie. it was very sweet then the twist. but good movie See more 11/21/2008 Typical Korean style sad movie but I like it. See more Read all reviews
