The Trouble With Bliss
Director Michael Knowles aptly delivers a lighthearted comedy sure to become an indie favorite. It is, however, refreshing that The Trouble With Bliss (based on Douglas Light’s novel, East Fifth Bliss) is told without the heavy-handed philosophical musing that so often accompanies smart, independent films. Set in New York City and centered on Morris Bliss (played by Dexter’s Michael C.
