One of my favorite movies, Happiness gets a lot of hate for its portrayal of an aspect of humanity people would rather not acknowledge, the thing is, this is part of the spectrum of human experience. It's appalling, as are most of the characters and situations, but I'm going to argue here that Solondz is making art, not entertainment. It's painful to watch, yet uncomfortably funny in a very repellent way. Absolutely not a movie for everyone, but an excellent film.

I put it in the class of movies like the human centipede. A part of human psychology is explored, setting bleak circumstances for shell characters. They have no depth. They are just portraying the perceived futility of modern life. Maybe it was a cry for help.

One of the greatest films I've ever seen. I can't describe how amazing this movie is. I've never felt more uncomfortable watching any other piece of cinema. Brilliantly dark, insanely funny, horribly discomforting...
