Happiness

The story of three grown sisters (Adams, Boyle and Stevenson), their parents (Gazzara, Lasser) and the colorful (yet dark) characters that find their way into each of the five Jordan family members' everyday life. The five main characters are somewhat of an oasis in the film, being the most normal and least dark of all the other characters, which gives us breathing room to absorb the sinister characters that surround them. Funny, disturbing and eye-opening; the concept, character interaction and dialogue are wonderful. While unpleasant and, at many times, vulgar; in the end, it is a truly remarkable film.
