Rating: 1.5/4 -- Mourning and gloom weigh upon most of the characters in Michael Almereyda's convoluted and numbingly pretentious Happy Here and Now
Newsday
Dec 15, 2005
Rating: 1.5/4 -- Michael Almereyda's futuristic mystery isn't a complete misfire, but it does leave you with the same baffled blankness that suffuses his isolated, techno-dependent characters.

The film is resolutely committed to its affectations of deepness and meaningfulness, but all it imparts is a sense of tediousness. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Even if you're not quite down with Almereyda's digital-age existentialism, he has impeccable taste in music.
TV Guide
Dec 16, 2005
Rating: 3.5/5 -- This is a droll, laid-back film noir steeped in Crescent City atmosphere and music that culminates in the colliding worlds of genuine and virtual reality.
Los Angeles Times
Dec 16, 2005
Rating: 1/4 -- Michael Almereyda's muddled Happy Here and Now should have stayed on the shelf -- where it's been gathering dust for several years.

Product Description:

Michael Almareda (NADJA) delivers another difficult and rewarding film that refuses to deliver on genre conventions. This time, a girl (Shalom Harlow) is missing, and her sister, Amelia (Liane Balaban), is desperately trying to locate her. Former CIA agent Bill (Clarence Williams III) is helping her, and the only clue they have is on the disappeared girl's computer: a program that allows the user to chat under an assumed identity. Karl Geary, Isabel Gillies, Ally Sheedy, and David Arquette also appear in this suspenseful film that makes the most of its New Orleans location and the oddball characters the city is known for.
