Happiness Is a Four-Letter Word feels like a deep dive into the pressures of modern life, especially for women navigating love and career in contemporary South Africa. Nandi, played with nuance, is this perfectionist whose ideal life comes crashing down just before her wedding. The pacing is a bit reflective, allowing us to really sink into her emotional turmoil alongside her friends Zaza and Princess, who bring their own stories to the mix. It’s the exploration of friendship and self-discovery that sets this apart. The performances are heartfelt; you can really feel the weight of their struggles. It’s not just about finding happiness but redefining it, which gives it a distinct edge. And while the direction may not be flashy, the authenticity shines through.
