Happily

In his feature debut, BenDavid Grabinski came up with a fairly original and fresh premise, but I feel he didn’t quite know what to do with it. It’s not very solid, it’s an “interesting” film that sort of crumbles between your fingers. The banal climax that relies on revealing the dishonesty of the relationships among a group of friends is something we’ve seen in tonnes of other conversational dramas, and I think this could have gone somewhere else given its interesting premise.

“When you try to avoid conflict, you create conflict. Who said that? I don’t know .. Bruce Lee maybe.” An unexpected surprise and an incredibly entertaining film! The story focuses on a couple in love who have been together for 14 years and are still having as much fun as they did at the beginning. Their relationship is in a word, perfect, but to their acquaintances it’s unnatural, unrealistic, sci-fi, weird, and they are slowly being treated like Martians! The film takes on a nice paranoid vibe after the arrival of a mysterious man claiming interesting things, and from that point on, a mystery full of questions, sex, lies and shocking revelations begins to emerge. I enjoyed it a lot, I would love to have Kerry Bishé at home immediately (that's the woman every man dreams of!). The black humour worked for me, the acting is excellent, the stiffing atmosphere was good, and even though the finale is resolved conversationally, I was satisfied there as well. A solid mystery genre film spiced up with sharp black humour. 8/10. (19/03/2021)
