Toen was geluk heel gewoon: De film is a curious blend of comedy and heartfelt moments, capturing the spirit of a nation grappling with disappointment. The film starts off with a bold scene—Jaap Kooijman tossing his TV out in frustration, which sets the stage for a family-oriented narrative filled with humor and relatable emotions. The pacing has this charming ebb and flow, balancing the comedic elements with more poignant reflections on family and community. You get a real sense of the atmosphere of mourning, yet it’s infused with lightheartedness that keeps things engaging. It’s distinct in how it weaves everyday life with the backdrop of football, showcasing both the absurdity and the warmth of Dutch culture. Performances feel genuine, making the characters relatable and their struggles quite endearing.
