	Author	Review
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"An interesting sociological perspective on a changing patriarchal society."	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"It's a simple, somewhat mundane scenario that, in the hands of a terrific cast and two talented filmmakers, is transformed into a minor Greek comic-tragedy, with one fearless woman trying to stave off loved ones who smother her with guilt and affection."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Remarkable blend of comedy and sadness."	POS
United States	Bilge Ebiri Village Voice	"The best film of the year (...) There isn’t a single second of 'My Happy Family' that doesn’t ring as achingly true"	POS
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"A small jewel of a film (...) Manana’s steadfast refusal to explain her actions infuriates those around her and intrigues the audience."	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"In a way that is not showy but displays just how masterfully directed these scenes are, the takes run for minutes longer than one might expect"	POS
