The Trouble with Bliss Ratings & Reviews
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Striving mightily to be the indie equivalent of a wacky sitcom, "The Trouble With Bliss" fails to draw much humor from farcical situations.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
Without much actual character to latch on to, most of the actors seem lost and awkward, even the usually dependable Hall.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Knowles and Light indulge in so many indie clichs, their movie could be used as a film-school case study.
AV Club
Alison Willmore
The film aims to present a mosaic of crazy New York life, but instead seems more like a shaggy-dog story being spun out by an easily distracted barfly over the course of an idle afternoon.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The kind of movie that gives a bad name to the concept of "quirky."
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Hall does what he can, but Michael Knowles' film does such a thorough job portraying the ennui and aimlessness gripping its protagonist that the feeling is contagious.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Packs a lot of Lower East Side quirkiness into 97 minutes. Maybe too much.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
Less than the comic sum of its sardonic parts "The Trouble With Bliss" is a triviality.
Filmcritic.com
Jules Brenner
The trouble is they keep trying to make movies about it.
Slant Magazine
Kalvin Henely
Populated with unlikely occurrences and oddball characters, it plays out, to put it most complimentary, like a dull, slower moving After Hours.
We Got This Covered
Karen Benardello
The Trouble With Bliss intriguingly showcases the numerous struggles people face as they reflect on their life paths.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Michael Knowles directs with all the complexity of a TV sitcom.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
The difficulties of adapting idiosyncratic literature to the screen are all too apparent in The Trouble With Bliss.
Village Voice
Eric Hynes
Even when circumstances and supporting turns slide into quirk and farce, Hall never angles for an easy laugh.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
Ultimately, "The Trouble With Bliss" is a more positive way to use one's time than Morris is spending his.
Television Without Pity
Ethan Alter
The trouble with Bliss isn't that he's lazy... it's that he's boring.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Indie pap, populated by determinedly eccentric characters you don't give a toss about.
