Review of Hector and the Search for Happiness (2014) by James Berardinelli for ReelViews — 25 Sep 2014
In order to show the "happiness" noted in the title, director Peter Chelsom ventures into some dark territory to provide a contrast. This results in a surprisingly unpleasant scene of torture and deprivation that may shock some viewers expecting to see a lightweight Simon Pegg dramedy about the meaning of joy.
