Review of Another Happy Day (2011) by Jerry K — 03 Feb 2012

Writer / Director Sam Levinson is most definitely his father Barry's son! What an amazing film -- sort of "Diner" for the twenty-first century.

The ensemble cast -- most especially the amazing Ellen Barkin -- paired with Ellen Burstyn, George Kennedy, Demi Moore and others are pushed to the point of explosion. The raw emotions may be difficult for some to take, but together with exquisite technical elements, this is a superb cinematic triumph.

For the life of me, I have no idea why any of the performances or the film itself was not among those considered for any awards this year.

Bravo to all! A fine, fine film!
