“Days of Happiness” excels in creating a protagonist with a fascinating inner life, even if it doesn’t fully stick the landing in convincingly dramatizing her journey.

4/5

It slightly drags towards the end, but overall, Chloé Robichaud achieves a dramatically fulfilling balance between the heavier aspects of her story and the thrill of a symphony concert.

3/4

Tensions between father and daughter drive the story at a crucial time as the symphony decides whether to keep her as her father bullies them. A fascinating story that works as a psychological fable and offers up a glorious programme of music.
