Tetrady not as good as all the hype

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

williamandrewsthefirst I thought this was a self-involved navel-gazing atrocity. I'm not even trying to be mean, just realistic. You cannot make a film about the self like this. Considering they're a design firm, their transitions are nice, however, this doesn't warrant making a movie. Graphic design doesn't translate to cinema. He just seems like a serial womanizer with unrealistic expectations. This could have been reduced to a good short on YouTube. He's pretty affluent and has nothing at all to be sad about. Champagne problems. The only place I can really see this being seriously screened is in a dentist's waiting room.

lizafaktor it's been a month since i went to 'The Happy Film' screening in LA. and i still carry the feeling of the film around as the kind of memory of precious time spent with your dear friends. it's such a profoundly human experience filled with fun, love, sadness and crazy adventures that Sagmeister has generously shared with us. it's also a fascinating exploration of the vocabulary to express the complex layers of happiness, through words and the fluent imagery. of course, being one of the most daring graphic designers of our time helps - Sagmeister goes free flying with supporting his pursuit of happiness in visual terms. it's a feast for the lovers of design! someone said that anticipation of happiness is the height of the feeling itself - The Happy Film does just that and more. highly recommended to be seen in a cinema with people around you!

Alison Weber The Happy Film is painfully beautiful. Design legend Stefan Sagmeister has a distinct history of offering himself up for public consumption, and his first documentary is exceptional on the merits of artistic stimulation and voyeuristic thrill alone. But the most extraordinary part of the story lies in watching him struggle with whether happiness can be constructed, and if he can find the heart of something in its dissected parts. Sagmeister fans will appreciate how truly naked and starkly present he is, and those who struggle with emotions, chemicals, love, or life will see pieces of themselves everywhere in this film. I loved it. It truly must be seen.

n_a_d_i I saw the exhibition in MAK museum by accident, without knowing who Stefan is, what is he doing or what's about, but it confused me nicely and it stayed in me long after I exited the museum. It touched me.. After a year or so, now I've seen the movie. And.. I still have butterflies in my stomach.. :) It's easy and hard and minimal and not.. And the soundtrack is amazing.. I can't get it out of my head.. A must watch..
