Leave your thoughts about Maison du Bonheur.
| Globe and MailBarry HertzMaison du bonheur is a thoughtful, affecting study of the space we choose to take up in this world, and what happens when we grow old enough to realize the truth and consequences of those decisions. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlBohdanowicz undertook the project without having previously met her subject, but for both the filmmaker and her audience, making Sellam’s acquaintance proves a rare pleasure. |
| The Young FolksGary ShannonBohdanowicz's documentary captures-through memory, tradition and preservation-a present shaped entirely by one's past. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerAt a point where documentaries are becoming increasingly flashy and frantic, watching Maison Du Bonheur felt like arriving at an oasis. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohAlthough hardly conceived or executed on the scale of his work, Proust kept popping into my mind as I watched this disarming film, with its meditative accretion of the fascinating little details that comprise a life. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyMs. Bohdanowicz’s self-interrogation is clearly important to her art, but I think she worries too much, at least where this subject is concerned. Her hostess, a model of charm, good humor and senior wisdom, is a movie unto herself. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThough those glimpses don't add up to what most people would call a portrait, they do evoke a life of old-fashioned female pampering, and contain just enough of Sellam's quirky personality to make those habits charming. |
