Film Journal #218 - Todd Solondz’s “Happiness” (1998)
People bestowed the title ‘sick psychopath’ don’t seem quite so strange or crazy in this 1990s indie classic. Or maybe it’s ‘crazy’ people have never been portrayed with this level of humanity. Darkly hilarious and often surprising, I found that the sad, honest and idiosyncratic nature of the performances stayed with me, reminding me that the idea of ‘normal’ is a false one.
