Agent of Happiness Ratings & Reviews
The Asian Cut
Rose Ho
The universality of the human experience is shown.
Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
Marya E. Gates
The film offers a peak not only into the daily lives of ordinary Bhutanese people, but also a glimpse at the desires, dreams, sometimes even their unhappiness, too.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
Ironically, some individuals who adamantly pursue "happiness" find it an elusive achievement. A more successful approach to this life-affirming state is illuminated in directors Arun Bhattarai and Dorottya Zurbó's documentary "Agent of Happiness."
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
It's gorgeously shot... and very gently absorbing.
Hollywood Report Card
Ross Anthony
Novel, deeply beautiful, but sadly too long. Edited to half its current running time, I'd be raving. That said, arguably the stillness, and extended ordinariness add to the theme -> determining "Gross National Happiness" begs better tools.
Film Threat
Bradley Gibson
In Agent of Happiness, Bhattarai and Zurbó have gifted us with a charming, heartfelt moment spent with the people of Bhutan, where, despite the efforts of the government, happiness can't be quantified
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Mildly engaging, but tedious, underwhelming and incomplete.
World Socialist Web Site
David Walsh
Objectively speaking, the people in Bhutan are no happier than people anywhere else living in an economically unequal, unjust and oppressive society ... the responses ... are not so different than one would expect to find in any part of the world.
Asian Movie Pulse
Grace Han
What does it really mean to be happy? The film raises more questions than it does answers. While the film is not particularly grand in any manner, it is sure to at least provoke some introspection.
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
Something this personal kind of inspires you to reflect as well. This is a lovely and kind documentary that handles big subjects with an unusual amount of honesty.
POV Magazine
Pat Mullen
Agent of Happiness shows that the manner in which Bhutan measures contentment is unique, but life's always better with a smile on one's face. It's a universal truth.
Variety
Siddhant Adlakha
"Agent of Happiness" uses meaningful visual contrast to scrutinize Bhutan's narrative about itself. It re-injects a vibrant sense of nuance into an exercise that, though nominally geared toward gauging humanity, too often reduces it to a number.
Paste Magazine
Jacob Oller
The quiet, intimate charms of Agent of Happiness pulse from poignant collective consideration, filtered through the personal experience of a professional happiness inspector.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
While the film burnishes Bhutan's reputation as a place to find enlightenment, Bhattarai and Zurbó take a different road than most to reach real epiphanies.
