Happy Go Lucky 7.5

A character study – no more, no less – of a high-energy, happy-go-lucky 30-year-old who is putting off adulthood for no bad reason. Her goofy intensity, or intense goofiness, can rub people the wrong way or be endearing: characters in the film showed both reactions and I shared them. At the end, however, I was convinced I had met a real person, and I credit Mike Leigh and Sally Hawkins for the endeavor.
