Happy-Go-Lucky film review

Resigning and giggling, for the sake of survival Grade: B- One rarely preoccupies themselves with the slight, intricate horrors lingering just beneath the surface, of what otherwise, may be, an overbearing existence. For survival’s sake, a “natural response,” would upset what may be known as the rhythm of all things. “Integration,” must be endured, at all costs- although, every individual must preoccupy oneself . . . with oneself. Naturally. This is where Poppy comes in, our lead female heroine of sorts - a 30-year-old schoolteacher who's extra- cheery: her offering to the world around her. She acquits herself of any judgment, acumen, or motive - an all-inclusive agenda, you might say, pertinent to strangers and acquaintances alike. She believes (I think) that with good intentions, whether brought on sincerely or not, is always granted with preternatural good sense - (with the addition of a giggle for good measure). Such blatant optimism is detected as shameful misgivings, or just downright absurd; yet, for Poppy, there’s always a smile to spare, even when burden is at play. To her unease - all interaction Poppy involves herself in is brought about thru scheduled appointments (with the exception of her flat mate). Concerning this, one can reason that our cautionary attitude has reached a boiling point, where one must employ a discriminate hesitation when assessing the relationship we will have with a forthcoming stranger. There is obviously a perceptive core in Poppy, yet, it is contained, as a sacrifice to her fellow brethren– what “good” comes about reveling in a negative state… which may be her one and only agenda.
