Review of Happily

Happily (2021)
8/10
The funhouse mirror parable
28 April 2021
This movie is great. It's photography and score augment the acting and dialogue perfectly to elevate the story and drive home the message. The movie's premise is the idiom that concludes -although never explicitly stated- every romantic comedy: and they lived happily ever after. Janet and Tom's marriage is flawless, not good, not perfect, flawless. It's basicly the amalgam of all current notions -or naive expectations rather- of what a good marriage or romantic relationships in general should be like, a funhouse mirror reflection of reality. Enter Mr Goodman, who points out the distorted nature of said reflection and the movie takes off. It's fun with just a bit of tension. I highly recommend, you watch it.
