“A corrosively funny yet emotionally devastating look at that elusive thing that all Americans presume to be their right.”
—The Austin Chronicle

“Funny, sad, sincere, ugly, tough, weird, occasionally horrifying. You could not watch it and feel nothing.”
—Vulture

“HAPPINESS is a film that perplexes its viewers, even those who admire it, because it challenges the ways we attempt to respond to it.”
—Roger Ebert

Todd Solondz’s (WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE) brilliantly empathetic yet darkly comic portrait dissects three sisters and their poisoned New Jersey suburban lives. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jane Adams, Ben Gazzara, Dylan Baker, and Lara Flynn Boyle form a stunning ensemble as society’s broken misfits hungering for connection in this merciless examination of middle-class desperation. Endlessly disturbing. Undeniably human.
