The Happy Chimp

About This Movie

So, 'The Happy Chimp' takes this interesting twist on the classic comedy-drama formula. You've got Agnes, who seems to have it all, getting engaged to Ville, the quintessential nice guy. But then there's Leo, Ville's brother, who’s this chaotic free spirit type. The dinner setting creates this tense, almost claustrophobic atmosphere where secrets simmer. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the tension to build as Agnes struggles with her hidden affair. You can sense the practical effects in the interactions, like those awkward glances, and the performances are quite layered. You can really feel the weight of Agnes’s choices weighing on her. It's distinctive in how it blends humor with a darker undercurrent, making you think about honesty and the messiness of relationships.
