Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
In New Orleans, a young woman named Muriel goes missing. Her sister, Amelia, arrives to look for her. Aided by her aunt's lover, an ex-CIA agent named Bill, Amelia finds evidence on Muriel's computer of conversations with a mysterious and philosophical man. Bill and Amelia's search for him is fitful, but we learn that he's Eddie, a local exterminator who wants to produce and direct a movie about Nicholas Tesla. We follow Eddie, full of schemes, and we meet his brother, Tom, a firefighter who may know something about the death of a man whose widow, Hannah, seeks him out. What has happened to Muriel? Is this a world where anything can be known?
Leave your thoughts about Happy Here and Now.
| Village VoiceDavid NgWhen Amelia takes the full multimedia plunge in the movie's final moments, Happy becomes something inexplicably (and metaphysically) beautiful. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzStrange but intriguing pic about alienation from the modern-day tech world. |
| All Movie GuideJosh RalskeThe film transcends what occasionally seems to be oddness for its own sake. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussTo make an inexact analogy, 'Happy Here and Now' is to New Orleans as 'Mystery Train' was to Memphis... |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid HunterBeautifully acted and filmed, with the Internet imagery rendered in Pixelvision. |
| Film ThreatTim MerrillAlmereyda is tripped up by this grab at cosmic profundity, and lands in a sticky puddle of pretension. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerThe dialogue is much like a bull session in a college dorm room, right before the munchies set in. |
| User Revieweric hPrecisely, I think, because I have been glued to my computer for some days now and only on impulse took a break for an on demand flick, did I find this movie so wonderfully disturbing. Despite the fact that it makes little sense I could completely relate to the blurring between the virtual and the actual. Watch this in the middle of the night by yourself when your life is in tatters, flux or a bit of both and I doubt you'll be disappointed. |
| User ReviewCJ CThis pre-Katrina New Orleans film is gorgeously shot, very nicely acted, and, for the most part, is diverting. The fact that it is a David Lynch/Jim Jarmusch hybrid (with perhaps a little Wim Wenders thrown in) actually works in its favor. The final reel, though, is frenetic and narratively unsatisfying and, overall, there are numerous opportunities for greatness that just don't pay off. Still, worth a look for the amazing N'awleans locales, incredible soundtrack, and the final (and possibly first?) film appearance of the late Ernie K. Doe! |
| User ReviewJim rInteresting story about trying to find someone you love. |
