Happy End Reviews
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Beautifully photographed, well composed, but disappointingly superficial.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
"Happy End" is an art film in the classic sense - ambitious, provocative and hard to shake off.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
There's an implicit social critique here, as there often is in Haneke's work.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
Haneke's technique is almost provocation, and it proves a fascinating intellectual exercise. But while you can admire the construction, you can't live in it.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Happy End will likely go down as a minor film from a major filmmaker, which is enough to make it worth your while if you can take the emotional hit.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
Old Haneke is back with a vengeance.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's not enough. It's not drama. It's not cinema. It's an endurance test, and there's no reason that anyone should take it.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Austrian writer-director Michael Haneke has made many a masterpiece. Sadly, his latest isn't one of them. Yet this cinematic poke in the eye about an upper class family imploding still exerts a perverse fascination.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
If Michael Haneke should die before he wakes, I pray the Lord his soul to take, along with this half-baked sequel to his magnificent Amour (2012).
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The film remains interesting, if not particularly eye-opening, until it reveals how the characters are related. Then it becomes the sort of sardonic chronicle of upper-middle-class discontentment that Claude Chabrol did better with less portentousness.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Happy End finds Haneke back in far more familiar terrain, operating in a wickedly disapproving vein.
New Yorker
Anthony Lane
The result lacks the tenacious bite of [Haneke's] finest work, and one can think of more difficult targets for his unerring aim than the moral indifference of the rich.
Film Comment Magazine
Yonca Talu
A potent director's inevitable self-pastiche, Happy End suffers from the absence of Haneke's usual quest for humanity within perversion.
Village Voice
April Wolfe
Can't we have a little more life in a movie about death?
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
If "Happy End" is something of a bad-seed nightmare, it turns out to be an unpredictable one, marked by unexpected flashes of warmth, sympathy and blistering humor.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It too often feels like Happy End is a bunch of ideas in search of a movie.
The New Republic
Christian Lorentzen
The film proceeds like a melodrama, but you may leave the theater thinking you've just seen the blackest of comedies.
Slant Magazine
Carson Lund
The film reveals itself as something vacuous and cold, a bizarrely seductive pseudo-thriller lacking a thoroughly worked-out payoff.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
The movie belongs to Mr. Trintignant. ... he is both steely and vulnerable in a role in which he has almost no physical movements to perform.
Paste Magazine
Tim Grierson
"Happy End" isn't a movie full of forceful shocks -- rather, there's a slithering dread from the start, Haneke always hinting at evil deeds about to transpire.
