Igarashi’s structure highlights and saturates moments with a complex array of emotions beyond what’s just on the surface.

Guy Lodge

Variety

A delicate, unassuming but subtly complex love story in reverse that doesn’t dart between timelines, instead offering the past as a bittersweet chaser to the present.

The Skinny

Super Happy Forever is gentle in pace but a knockout in terms of cumulative impact. It's a major work in a deceptively minor key.

Rated: 5/5

Carlos Losilla

Caimán Cuadernos de Cine

Igarashi deploys a series of variations, constructing a kind of motionless story, in which contained emotion, sentimental naivety and enunciating purity prevail. [Full review in Spanish]

James Hadfield

Japan Times

The Japanese-French co-production puts its resources to good use: The visuals and sound have a finesse that’s rare in homegrown indie fare.

Rated: 4/5
