“Happy Tears” is a new female-driven character film starring indie queen Parker Posey as Jayne, Demi Moore as her sister Laura, and ageless court jester Ellen Barkin as their father’s nurse, Shelly. The two sisters lead quite different lives but must come together in the name of family. This adult coming of age movie brings these three talented actresses together for an honest and frequently funny look at life during a crossroads. At the center of this powerhouse tri-fecta is Jayne and Laura’s aging and foul-mouthed father Joe, with Rip Torn delivering a perfect, crowd pleasing performance.
