There are glimmers of good filmmaking in Money Buys Happiness, but the main characters are generally unlikeable.

All in all, Money Buys Happiness shows that Lachow is a director worth keeping an eye on.

Neither too surreal nor too self-involved, the film leavens its obvious symbolism with quirky digressions and a sharp appreciation of all the troublesome details of a troubled marriage.

Like watching an acting exercise in the rehearsal stages; this project feels as if it is still on its way to being realized.
