Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
MARY IS HAPPY, MARY IS HAPPY
Synopsis
A cheerful title for a playful, jittery film. The story that emerges is that of Mary, who is grappling with the the vicissitudes of life in her senior year of secondary school. Confused, but incredibly witty, fun and very freely acted. A Twitter comedy.

Our take
The first film adaptation of a Twitter stream! A delirious coming-of-age tale that makes 410 consecutive real tweets from an anonymous teen its narrative device. Fragmented and unpredictable as teenagehood itself, ferociously contemporary, and very moving. Wes Anderson & Michel Gondry would love it.
