The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Happiness starting at 8 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "lending a panoramic focus to the story of three sisters and the conflicts that mark their suburban lives, Happiness walks a fine line between empathy and rebuke even when presenting its most flawed of characters, settling somewhere unexpected and deeply affecting." I'd go so far to say it's like a horror movie, only instead of gore, it's disturbing emotional events dispersing your gaze.
