Press Quotes
A mysterious movie that begins as one kind of straightforward film before mutating into something much stranger -- discussing it thoroughly without spoiling it is tough
—Vadim Rizov, Filmmaker Magazine
With great warmth and poignancy, Hamaguchi's Happy Hour is perhaps one of the most satisfyingly nuanced portraits of the profundity lurking beneath the day-to-day grind
—Nicholas Bell, IONCINEMA.com
It's worth putting aside the time to see how Happy Hour excels in every way a narrative film can
—Benjamin Wang, Film Inquiry
Hamaguchi is a genius of scene construction, turning the fierce poetry of painfully revealing and pugnaciously wounding dialogue into powerful drama that's sustained by a seemingly spontaneous yet analytically precise visual architecture
—Richard Brody, New Yorker
