Happy-Go-Lucky Days · review
I'm writing this review after watching this movie for the second time. The first time I finished it, it was so bland that I didn't even remember watching it. Nothing about it stood out to me, the art was pretty but extremely simple. There is no plot either. The characters lead a mundane life and naturally give me no thrill either. If this came out in the cinema, I wouldn't watch it. But I watched it on a very casual day, eating my dinner alone and worrying about my exam results. I didn't have any anticipations, any expectations or any need to be entertained. Themovie kept playing in the background and I had the time to think about myself. I found myself thinking 'That happened with me too.' and I didn't feel anything. The movie ended as soon as I finished my dinner (I must've been eating that meal very slowly, now that I think about it.) but it was okay. It was a nice distraction.
Halfway through the film I realized I've already watched it once before. Honestly, I'll forget about this movie again, probably and then return to it thinking it's a cute lgbtq+ film. And then I'll binge it again on another mundane day in my life and think, 'Wow, my memory is really bad. This is the third time.' Or maybe I'll be watching it with someone else, and they'll laugh at me for my bad memory.
This movie was no cinematic masterpiece, but it is worth a watch on a holiday with nothing better to do.
