Critic Reviews for Fifi Howls From Happiness

All Critics (21) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (21)

  • Whatever its virtues and flaws, "Fifi" performs the vital service of acquainting the world with an artist who deserves - despite his own dismissal of such notions - world recognition, if not immortality.

    October 30, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Peter Keough

    Boston Globe

  • Farahani's direction is artfully suggestive but also, at moments, oblique; she seems to think that she's making a Godardian essay-film.

    August 14, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Owen Gleiberman

    BBC.com

  • By its bittersweet end, "Fifi Howls From Happiness" has stayed almost entirely in one apartment and yet somehow unveiled both a life in full and a blank canvas.

    Robert Abele

    Los Angeles Times

  • Though he does it with a grin, Mohassess rages against the dying of the light as well as many of the things the world presented him with during his life.

    August 8, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Godfrey Cheshire

    RogerEbert.com

  • That Ms. Farahani found Mr. Mohassess and persuaded him to share his story is a terrific coup, even if a great deal of his life's work remains elusive.

    August 7, 2014 | Full Review…

    Manohla Dargis

    New York Times

  • An involving documentary that in the final estimation feels a slight bit out of proportion.
