“The 1998 New York Film Festival notes say, ‘Controversial and ambitious, Happiness takes director Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse) into dangerous and riveting new territory. The lives of three sisters, their parents, friends, and neighbors intersect in this black comedy of missed connections. On the surface, they're your typical suburban extended family diligently seeking out companionship, love, and stability. Yet gradually, inexorably, dark forces bubble up from below the thin veneer of normalcy, eventually taking over their lives.’” (Good Machine: Tenth Year Anniversary, 2001 Press Release)
