Les Jours heureux

I don't like giving this movie a low score. The acting is excellent, the characters feel real and present, the dialog is spot on. The score is for the story.

This is yet another movie using anxiety as the only theme. The controlling and narcissistic father, the emotionality abused mother, the non-committing girlfriend, the demanding colleague. And the main character in the middle, barely able to breathe.

If you like 2 hours of anxiety followed by 5 minutes of "happiness" this is the perfect movie for you. Personally, I hate feeling like I did walking out from the movie theater. Simply put, the balance is off.
