      Audience Member Despite the negative reviews I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member kranker film. sehr krank und verstörend. aber interessant Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Tragic and disturbing. Exactly how I would imagine it to be to live amongst a polygamous cult. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Disturbing, uncomfortable, and somehow pervasively dull. I kept waiting for an actual plot to develop, but it never really does. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst movies of the year. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member i actually enjoyed this film. centered in a hippie utopia that's not exactly the way of life for the kids growing up in it, lotsa drugs and sex.....but yet this still resembles a white suburban melodrama. tries a little too hard at times but still worth a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Joe Neumaier New York Daily News The kids' story gets out of control, but Andie MacDowell is a pleasantly earthy mess as Victor's out-of-it mother, and familiar New York faces (Ann Magnuson, Mark Boone Jr., Richard Edson) lend quirky support as the out-of-it elders. Rated: 2/4 Apr 27, 2020 Full Review Amy Nicholson Boxoffice Magazine There's more boobs than brains in Adam Sherman's semi-true tale of heedless, bored debauchery Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times An astoundingly bad memory piece that blows its potential dramatic heft at every turn. Rated: 1/5 May 13, 2010 Full Review Brent Simon Shared Darkness Happiness Runs wears its air-quote truth like a protective cloak, to fend off dismissals of its narrative inadequacies: after all, if it's based on a true story, how could it not be infused with hidden profundity? Rated: C- May 19, 2010 Full Review Annlee Ellingson Moving Pictures Magazine Sherman's macabre dream-fueled imagery elevates the material from solely navel-gazing, but only slightly. May 17, 2010 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International "Callow" would be too kind a description of this messy, unoriginal and dull treatise of a filmmaker's youthful years in a commune.
