She's a conscientious and exuberant primary-school teacher, flatmates with Zoe, her long-time friend; she's close to one sister, and not so close to another.

Poppy Cross is happy-go-lucky. At 30, she lives in Camden: cheeky, playful, frank while funny, and talkative to strangers. She's a conscientious and exuberant primary-school teacher, flatmates with Zoe, her long-time friend; she's close to one sister, and not so close to another. In this slice of life story, we watch her take driving lessons from Scott, a dour and tightly-wound instructor, take classes in flamenco dance from a fiery Spaniard, encounter a tramp in the night, and sort out a student's aggressive behavior with a social worker's help. Along the way, we wonder if her open attitude puts her at risk of misunderstanding or worse. What is the root of happiness?
Leave your thoughts about Happy-Go-Lucky.
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanScenes that would be throwaways in most films -- girls gabbing on their night out, a walk by the seaside -- have been set up to tell us a lot about the people in them, if we'll only pay close attention. |
| Film4Holly Grigg-SpallA film that should be required viewing nationwide. A good blast of fresh air that sweeps you off your feet. |
| Metromix.comMatt PaisAbsolutely extraordinary in its grounded optimism, Happy-Go-Lucky features an Oscar-worthy performance from Sally Hawkins that must not, cannot be ignored. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatOne of the best portraits of an enthusiastic person ever put on the screen. |
| MSNBCAlonso DuraldeIndeed, playing someone sunny without making them totally irritating might be more of a challenge than portraying Lady Macbeth, and Hawkins makes Poppy's good cheer pragmatic and personable. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonSo joyous and uplifting that you just want to pluck it off the screen, put it in your pocket and carry it around with you. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiOne of the best films of 2008 and one of the finest films to date from a man commonly regarded as one of the world's greatest filmmakers. |
| Houston ChronicleAmy BiancolliI've never used this cliché in a review before, and God forbid I ever use it again, so pay close attention: Happy-Go-Lucky is the feel-good movie of the year. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthSally Hawkins' enchanting performance is yet another example that Leigh's trademark technique is working. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternI thought "Topsy-Turvy" was perfection, a spirited evocation of the partnership of Gilbert and Sullivan, plus a blithely definitive depiction of the artistic process. Happy-Go-Lucky is perfection too, assuming you go along with its leisurely pace, which I did quite happily. |
