But given the failures of character development, in the end, the threesome premise feels just like a cheap gimmick rather than a meaningful exploration of sex, boundaries, communication, and pleasure. Go to Full Review

A movie about a childish woman who can't speak her mind and ends up hurting the person she may or may not even love is, ironically, unsatisfying itself. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider 09/05/2023
The screenplay’s need for another draft or three is Happy Ending’s biggest issue. Otherwise, it’s a nicely shot film, naturalistic where similar American films are glossy and artificial, and the cast is game. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Despite the short runtime, the narrative maintains a steady pace and doesn’t rush the experience, allowing the audience to travel with the characters through their relationship and feel a connection to their struggles. Go to Full Review

Aug 12 Wonderful romance movie without big pretenses, who don't try to be deep about anything, just the story of three endearing characters. See more Ashley H Jan 4 Luna’s character is frustratingly underdeveloped, and her motivations are often unclear, making it difficult to connect with her journey. The film tries to tackle the complexities of intimacy and desire but ends up feeling like a rushed, superficial exploration that doesn’t provide any real insight or growth for its characters. Instead of creating a thoughtful dialogue about relationships, it instead focuses on cheap thrills and overly sensational moments that feel forced. The chemistry between the characters, particularly between Luna and Eve, falls flat. The film’s attempt to portray a love triangle feels contrived, and instead of adding emotional tension, it only brings awkwardness. The pacing is slow, and the film doesn’t know whether it wants to be a romance, a drama, or a comedy, making it a confusing and unsatisfying experience. See more Daryl D @DmacVisuals 10/09/2023 casting well, cinematography cool See more A C 09/24/2023 Great writing, acting and setting. The story was realistic and well done. Thank you! See more Greg R @itsgregsworld 09/05/2023 This was easily one of the worst movies I have seen in the past few years. I have no idea what any reviewer would see positive in this.
