Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 12/21/2012
4/5
As small-scale as Boxing Day is, it sustains an unusual atmosphere and an emotional charge of which Tolstoy might have approved - and both performances are memorably etched into it. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 12/20/2012
4/5
Perhaps no movie version could find an equivalent for the original's final lines, but this is another arresting adaptation from Rose. Go to Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 12/20/2012
4/5

Boxing Day is emotional beauty at its purest. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/22/2019
The rather blandly observed scenario is kept sharply afloat by the two lead performers. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/08/2021 Is an important movie for all of us, we can learn about representation from it and also enjoy a beautiful Christmas movie See more 01/07/2018 Boring, bad acting, pointless. I think unless you read the book and knew of some deeper philosophical multi layering the movie is like a boring journal entry. See more Read all reviews
