Review For Happy People: A Year in the Taiga Movie
Herzog's longing for the ideological purity in which these lives are lived, free of paperwork and bureaucracy, taxes and technology, drives the film, which lacks an overall story arc.Barbara VanDenburgh-Arizona Republic
It's a do-it-yourself world that Herzog clearly admires - much of what we see is the men performing the tasks that enable them to survive.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle
They decidedly don't seem happy. And "Happy People's" decision to skate down the frozen Yenisei without examining their unhappiness more closely leaves a slight chill.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
If you want a taste of life as it must have been for the Voyageurs of old, this documentary is a good place to start.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Albeit a found film of sorts, Happy People is very much of a piece with Herzog's other work, examining man's place in the natural world, looking at man's history and man's ability to survive, to endure.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
Herzog has become a master of the understatement - knowing just how long the images can sustain you without a word being said.
Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times
In a very real sense, we are watching Herzog watch this film, his rapturous reaction illuminating as much about himself as his subjects.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Titling a documentary about snowbound Siberian fur trappers "Happy People" is not as ironic as it seems.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Quirky and a little scary and rapturous all at the same time.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
It's not that Happy People is uninteresting... It's just that the one sensibility of which we were previously aware -- that of Herzog's -- is indiscernible, as if frozen beneath all this movie's ice.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
A stirring meditation on the human spirit in extreme conditions, Happy People also reflects Herzog's passion and fascination for the often unforgiving nature of the wild.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
From Siberia, with Happiness
Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
It's a minor film from a major director but it's still a strong one for those interested in its subject matter - how people can still co-exist with and live off the land instead of ignoring or abusing it.
Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com
Herzog ... continues his streak of well-crafted documentaries with surprising subjects.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Primarily following one veteran sable trapper through his primitive but fascinating annual routine, the movie also features clouds of mosquitoes thick enough to inspire phantom itching in viewers.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
The quality of the video, solid behind the camera work and the dedication of all involved (and the wonderful subjects) make this an uplifting happy story about "Happy People."
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
A cautionary tale of humans adjusting to their environment, instead of attempting to make the environment adjust to them.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
They are fun to watch as they shape skis out of tree trunks, and hang out with their dogs.
Gerald Peary-Boston Phoenix
