Film Review - Another Happy Day

ANOTHER HAPPY DAY 3

“Another Happy Day” is a story about motherhood, but not a gauzy kind of parental experience. Writer/director Nora Fiffer tries to cut a little deeper with the material, examining the stress of postpartum depression on a young woman who’s just had a baby and doesn’t exactly know what to think about the situation beyond a desperate need for sleep and support. Fiffer goes the microbudget route with this indie feature, leaving behind glossy emotionality and wild swings of drama to make a movie that’s perfectly comfortable with silence and stillness, also offering a limited reach when it comes to a dramatic arc for its main character. “Another Happy Day” is perhaps too slight to really hold viewer attention, but there are relatable moments of anxiety for the target demographic, and star Lauren Lapkus receives a rare shot to show off her range, presenting a compelling understanding of a quiet unraveling.
