Yes, people, go watch "A Dose of Happiness"! I can't fall sleep after I've watched it because this is a true phenomenon for Bulgarian cinema. I'm ashamed I went to congratulate the cast and crew while I was crying. Terrible... A grown-up woman like me, crying like a school girl. I'm not like that. I'm a serious, controlled, all in black, pseudointellectual (without the cigarette and the vodka bottle - a joke about the other pseudointellectuals). But there's something in you, some kind of a drive that doesn't let you go free and makes you say something, but you can't because you're crying, helpless. Thank you for making me feel this helplessness! I don't like feeling that way and being that way. But this helplessness was a great moment for my body and soul! Everyone will find something for themselves in this film. Everyone will be impressed by different things. You'll see, you'll understand. Do you know what's best? I can say this is an art-house film with a solid message, beautiful and touching story. It felt like European cinema with a Hollywood ending. Because I'm sick and tired of art messed up films which you think you've understood and want to talk about but you actually can't because it was just an artistic nonsense. No! "A Dose of Happiness" is unambiguous, with psychologically real characters, there's sensitivity, emotions, and feelings! There's Love and God! There's Truth! There's Power! There's a Reason that stays with you! And Valentina Karoleva is... Words can't describe my feelings about her. And I'd better not attempt it then. Thank you, Valentina! Thank you, Yana Titova! Thank you, Aleksandar Aleksiev! Thank you, Martin Balkansky! Thank you, Dimitar Nikolov, you theatre machine! Thanks to all the people who'd given a dose of their lives to give us a dose of happiness in this times, deprived of simple reason.

One of the few movies making me feel this way. During the whole story I was emotional. I was going to cry and at the end of the movie I couldn't stop the tears. It was brilliant, including the part that as an addict you won't find much support except that one or two people who love you. The only thing it wasn't mentioned was that most of people can't stop with methadone program and they are on it whole life.

Great story. A real story of a real life told by her own daughter. She plays the story of her own mother. Really inspiring story.

I have never watched a movie made with so much love and deep massage... it is so moving it kept me thinking about the story weeks after I watched it. I kept crying almost all the time yet I felt so inspired and full of bless and bliss! I highly recommend!

A real life story about the temptations in life, the struggles, pain and the faith in God! Strongly recommend it, it will touch you deeply and make you think about the real things in life! One of the best Bulgarian productions!
