Subject matter could be disturbing to some. Ending was not clear. Acting was great!

The title doesn't give away the movie at all. Andie McDowell is an aging actress who learns she has 4 stage cancer. The supporting cast gives support for her to let her know how they have fought the cancer. Each person is at a different stage in the fight. No light issue by no means. I thought it was an interesting perspective on someone who decides to chose not to go through the treatment and use the time to enjoy whatever time she has left with her loved ones. I thought the movie was alright.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Very very touching. The only negative is I thought the acting was on the weak side by most characters.

It's not a bad movie. It gives you an idea of what some cancer patients may be going through emotionally. And that it emotionally effects everyone equally no matter what their stature may be.

Horrible film that glamorizes not taking care of yourself when diagnosed with cancer.

The actresses were all believable, the conversations were both deep and comical. Movie brought out a lot of emotions. Very much worth the hour and a half.

I think it'll probably resonate with anyone who has gone through this experience themselves.

Tribune News Service

The premise of “My Happy Ending” is somewhat slight, but there’s nothing insubstantial about a woman coming to a profound realization about her life thanks to a surprising encounter with unexpected new allies

Rated: 2.5/4

Julia discovers there’s no A-list treatment when it comes to the big C, a realization that softens and humanizes her.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Plays fast and loose with actual medical ethics in service of the story’s theme of self-actualization.

Jerusalem Post

The movie is far more entertaining than the premise would suggest, and it movingly represents Gov’s plea for us to speak more openly and realistically about death.

Culture Mix

The only happy ending that viewers might get from watching this poorly made and fake-looking cancer comedy/drama is when this boring train wreck is finally over. Tamsin Greig gives the movie's only adequate performance. Everyone else's acting falls flat.
