Total Film awarded Happy Ever Afters 3 stars
Not hard to guess that troubled souls Freddie (Tom Riley) and Maureen (Sally Hawkins) will seek solace in each other, but the way their dance unfolds is off-kilter enough to resonate.
The comedy’s an odd blend of bland slapstick and darkly uncomfortable one-liners (did we miss the memo about child-beating being funny?), but shortcomings are offset by Hawkins, imbuing her character with depth and pathos.
