Sewitsky is a bit too fond of the handheld camera, but she is immediate, close. Her first picture, daring title and all, takes an empathic look at a permanent puzzle.
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic

A thoughtful, nicely played melodrama, bordering on patronising in its depiction of rural folk, but staying on the right side of the line - thanks to sympathetic performances.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Fresh
The curdled Norwegian comedy-drama "Happy, Happy," which dissects a pair of poisoned marriages, is sometimes heavy-handed (like its title) but has much to recommend it.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

Sewitsky aims for quirky humanism along the lines of Finland's Aki Kaurismaki; she's helped along considerably by Kittelsen's sunny performance, though the film crosses over into Scandinavian kitsch with a series of country-swing interludes.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

It is short and intense enough that it always seems on track, even if the train goes nowhere.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
