The New Yorker has released a new short film titled “Happy to Help You,” featuring Amy Sedaris and written and directed by Jeremy Beiler. The film explores the theme of depression through the story of a woman at the end of her rope and a phone therapist who needs counseling himself. The soundtrack, created by Elegant Too, provides a sympathetic and engaging backdrop to the characters’ journey.
Elegant Too, consisting of Chris Maxwell and Phil Hernandez, are known for their work on “Bob’s Burgers” and other TV shows. The duo’s music for “Happy to Help You” combines jazzy guitar chords, burbling keyboards, and an ironic ’80s-style saxophone to create a unique and moving atmosphere. The film follows the unlikely connection between Nora and Arthur as they navigate their struggles with depression.
The film is a mix of empathy and comedy, with Sedaris shining as Nora, a woman on the brink of losing her job. Beiler plays Arthur, the phone therapist who is not as skilled at his job as he thinks. The soundtrack adds depth to the characters and their interactions, making for a compelling and emotionally resonant viewing experience. “Happy to Help You” is a must-watch for those looking for a thoughtful exploration of mental health issues through the lens of humor and compassion.
