Review of My Happy Family

I enjoyed this. A diverse set of Actors in terms of age showing an extended family living in a comparatively small modest apartment. It centers on the middle aged couple who live with the wife's parents and the couple's adult children and at various times spouses of the children. The wife, Manana, has a decent job. It seems obvious why she wants to move out of this circus, though it is not socially acceptable. Women don't understand why she would leave a man who does not beat her or habitually cheat. Her brother has the men in the new neighborhood watching her, in a protective but oppressive way. As time goes on, she learns things that help her understand why her relationship with her husband is strained and also mitigating factors. I like the interactions of the characters. It is true as in almost documentary like. I like the way the changing seasons are the time clock of the movie. And Manana and her family are appealing characters for the most part. The ending is a little ambiguous, but certain enough.
