Happy Hour

About This Movie

Happy Hour is one of those offbeat films that resonates with the struggles of artistic aspiration. Tulley, played with an unmistakable weariness, embodies that familiar conflict between ambition and the often mundane reality of life. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of introspection to breathe, which is quite refreshing. The cinematography captures a somewhat gritty yet vibrant atmosphere, reflecting both the chaotic and mundane aspects of his world. Levine, his best friend, offers a contrast that highlights Tulley's decline, while Natalie represents the distant hope of redemption. It’s this blend of comedy and drama that makes it so distinctive, with a genuine portrayal of a man grappling with his choices amidst the haze of alcohol and nostalgia.
