The Happy Family

About This Movie

The Happy Family is one of those films that sort of creeps up on you. It’s a slow-burn drama that captures the essence of family dynamics with a distinct tone of melancholy. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of quiet reflection to weigh heavy, which can be jarring but effective. You don't really get a conventional story arc here; it’s more about snapshots of life and the subtleties of relationships. The performances are sincere, adding a raw edge to the narrative. There's also a fascinating use of practical effects, which somewhat contrasts with the somber themes—creating a unique vibe. It’s not flashy but has this unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after watching.
