About This Movie

Aren't You Happy? is this curious blend of comedy and drama, where the streets become a canvas for deep human connection and existential musings. The protagonist's search for a place to sleep unfolds into a series of encounters that are both poignant and absurd. You get these young mothers who wear their motherhood like armor, and then there's this abstinent existentialist whose views on intimacy are refreshingly cynical. The pacing is breezy, but the themes of capitalism and identity linger heavy in the air. It’s that kind of film where the atmosphere feels thick with both humor and melancholy. The practical effects and the drag bar scenes really stand out, adding layers to an already complex narrative. Quite a distinct piece in the indie landscape of 2019.
