To me, this movie is perfection.

Best movie ever!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I saw the film @ the Victoria Film Festival and loved it. It is definitely quirky, but also educational and inspiring. Graphic artist Stefan Stagmeister undertakes a piece of first-person research to find out what makes him, and perhaps by extension us, happy. He consults experts and leads us through each step in the process looking into three possible routes to happiness, only to discover yet another. As interesting as that is, his exceptionally creative graphic eye provides truly amazing action illustrations to make his points. I hope it gets a wide distribution! (I also loved the musical score by the Canadian band Siskiyou.)

This is by far the most creative film I have seen at a film festival. Pay attention to the amazing attention to detail!This is a great documentary based on real life experiences. It gets you to think deeply about your own life, and the emotions that we experience on a daily basis.It has a great story line that has you eager to learn the outcome. It is a brilliant film filled with emotion,humour,and beautiful scenery! The film flows through Stefan's story seamlessly.I am so pleased that I saw this film. It is a life changer!I want to see it again to rediscover the creativity that bursts through continually throughout the film.The title is simple but says exactly what the film is about.

The question about happiness is something crucial to mankind and yet profane to answer. I would not want to have a general answer, but after watching the happy film, I felt enriched with new questions to find my own answer to this question.I have been at Stefans Happy Show in Vienna, several times, at it was so clear to me. It gave me clear and convertable inspiration on my own path to happiness. I did not leave the show with a question and I was purely happy, already.With the film, I learned that no one can give me a path to my own happiness, although everything from the show still made a lot of sense, the film added the important questions to stay on the track towards happiness, because happiness is never a status to achieve longer than temporarily but always a status worth chasing long term.Thank you, Stefan, for producing this. I feel empathetic about how many sets of emotions you must have gone through when re-living every scene of your life a hundred times.

Just a half an hour ago I finished watching the film and I feel deeply touched. I am myself a graphic designer and I believe people like Stefan are keeping our profession considered as art. Existential questions and thoughts about happiness are a big part of my life for the past few years. They are leading me in many dilemmas through my life even though I don't have answers for them. I enjoyed the graphics of this movie so much it made me envy them. It's not common to share such intimacy with an audience in a documentary but in the film it felt natural and normal. I got so touched by this movie I felt like I'm taking part of it. Thank you.
