Movie Reviews

Philadelphia City Paper - 9/10 by Sam AdamsGanz cooks up a compelling paranoid mood,but there's not enough to sustain the tone, and eventually the movie burns itself out.
Seanax.com - 9/10 by Sean AxmakerNot quite a comedy but as darkly comic a crime drama as you'll find, this offbeat modern noir... is a weirdly compelling portrait of a town that has its own sense of justice...
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 9/10 by Jeff ViceObviously, the dark nature of the story will turn off some audiences. But the film will appeal to those who love the thriller genre...
Indie Movies Online - 9/10 by Kimberly GadetteWith its fascinating story, perfect pacing and superbly moody camera work by cinematographer Jorgen Johansson, Terribly Happy takes you by a slow, purposeful surprise.

Boston Phoenix - 8/10 by Peter KeoughGenz's amoral, sadistic black comedy recalls the Coen Brothers in Blood Simple mode; it's fascinating to watch as the hapless characters are sucked into a morass of diabolical fate and their own vice and folly.
Washington City Paper - 8/10 by Tricia OlszewskiMoves swiftly and offers just enough creepiness and conflict to keep things interesting.
MTV - 8/10 by Kurt LoderThe movie is so artfully constructed that it gives you the sweats right up to the end.
Combustible Celluloid - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt has been aptly compared to the Coen Brothers and films like Blood Simple (1984).
