Basil hires Nick to drive him to Colorado to look at several foreclosed properties. Basil has no respect for Nick's abilities, and the two pay little attention to the worsening weather conditions.

Derek Malcolm

London Evening Standard

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.

Rated: 4/5

Perhaps no movie version could find an equivalent for the original's final lines, but this is another arresting adaptation from Rose.

Rated: 4/5

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Huston and Jacobs have a marvellously spluttery chemistry, even as events in the mountains reduce them to a pair of wretched creatures, clinging to one another while the cold night gnaws their bones.

Rated: 4/5

It is a simple story told in a semi-experimental style which never really takes off, but neither does it detract from the performances in it and on that strength this film is very impressive indeed.

Boxing Day is emotional beauty at its purest.

The rather blandly observed scenario is kept sharply afloat by the two lead performers.

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.
