Happy, Happy

Happy, Happy is one of the most captivating explorations of married couples that one can hope to see. The devil’s in the details, and Sewitsky manages to pack an amazing amount of subtlety into the 88 minute running time. And one cannot rave enough about the amazing performance of Agnes Kittelsen, whose always present smile and indefatigable will to be happy is both a survival mechanism for her character and the driving force of the film.
