My Happy Family

"An interesting sociological perspective on a changing patriarchal society." 

"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." 

"Remarkable blend of comedy and sadness." 

"The best film of the year (...) There isn’t a single second of 'My Happy Family' that doesn’t ring as achingly true" 

"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" 

"A small jewel of a film (...) Manana’s steadfast refusal to explain her actions infuriates those around her and intrigues the audience."
