"'Another Happy Day' plays less like a dark family dramedy and more like a campy reminder of what to expect from Levinson and the upcoming 'Euphoria' Season 3."
"'The tense dynamic between Elliott and his mother Lynn feels like a rough draft for the witty resentment shared by Rue and her mom on 'Euphoria.'"
"'This wildly imperfect movie is worth revisiting only if you're the kind of person who believes a cinematic oddity can double as a divisive filmography's smoking gun.'"
IndieWire After Dark features midnight movies, highlighting Sam Levinson's debut film 'Another Happy Day.' This 2011 indie film presents a chaotic wedding scenario filled with emotional violence and addiction. The relationship between troubled teen Elliott and his mother Lynn mirrors themes later explored in 'Euphoria.' Despite its flaws, the film serves as a reminder of Levinson's unique style. The family dynamics are portrayed as deeply dysfunctional, making the film a polarizing experience for viewers who appreciate its oddity.
