Helen


The scenes with Joy and Helen were bad... from the distracting cheap green screen/fake background at her house, to the dialogue, and the scene where Joy and Andy can hear her having sex (which was a reference to Happiness).

I wanted to like this film as I am a fan of Todd Solondz's other work, but I was very disappointed. Nothing much happened, it was very slow and boring, and there wasn't a lot of development of the characters. Shirley Henderson is generally a good actress, but she was terrible as Joy.

Timmy was cute and annoying at the same time; I much preferred Billy in Happiness as the main kid character.

My favourite parts were the scenes with Andy's ghost, and when Charlotte Rampling's character meets Bill.
