Editor’s note: A brief editor’s note on Happiness for Beginners (2023): Firmly a Romance, Adventure, Comedy, Drama piece, but with a personal touch. Under Vicky Wight’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Ellie Kemper, Luke Grimes, Nico Santos anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. The 1h 43m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. Not universally praised, but there’s enough here for curious genre fans. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
