Review of Happy Endings (2005) by Amurabim. — 25 Jun 2006
"This is a comedy. Sort of" says one of the multiple title cards, displayed in this film. The title cards can work as a distraction, right, but also can show a lack of talent of Roos direction.
Yes, his script is witty, smart and talented, with a great mix of tragedy and comedy (that´s the reason which that title card proves that, at least, this film is earnest) but you have to read those, to believe and find a justification fot the acts of the characters .
With terrific performances (Maggie Gyllenhaal is a goddess from the contemporary american cinema) and superb storylines (that looks realistic, plausible and believable), "Happy Endings" could be a masterpiece if something must have not been forget: passion.
