Reviews for Happy Tears
The story always feels edgily, sometimes jerkily, unpredictable before surprisingly opting for a conventional wrap.
Happy Tears is less of a mess than it looks like, despite its quirk-infested, baggy midsection.
In this year's crop of Oscar-nominated shorts, the animated category beats the live-action offerings.
The 10 short films (half ani mated, half live-action) nominated for Oscars this year are a mixed bag, but it is still a public service to give them a two-week run on the big screen.
