It’s a tender and warm film about missed connections and ships that, for whatever reason, end up passing in the night. Go to Full Review
Scott Pfeiffer Chicago Reader 12/17/2015
Crafted with affection and attentive to workaday rhythms, this first feature from writer-director Charles Poekel demonstrates an authentic feel for the neighborhood, where he himself once sold trees. Go to Full Review
Alonso Duralde TheWrap 12/11/2015
Delicate and restrained, the film offers the messages of redemption and renewal we so often crave from a Christmas movie without wrapping its themes and characters in tinsel. Go to Full Review

Christmas, Again is categorically not a romance. Poekel defuses that thought early on, as she comes and goes, but what he captures is better: kinship and hope with home-spun warmth. What better tidings than these? Go to Full Review

01/07/2018 This movie follows the life of a young man selling Christmas trees in New York. It isn't a typical movie or holiday movie by any means, and all the better for it. See more 11/26/2017 Best Christmas movie, really captures the true spirit of the holidays in a way that pretty much no other Christmas movies do. See more 01/07/2017 One of the best melancholic Christmas films I've seen. True shoe-gazer filmmaking, it's a quietly natural look at the holiday season from the perspective of a lonely Christmas tree salesman, someone who benefits from yet resents the potential consumerist blinders. However, its cynicism is never engulfing, instead allowing kindness and goodwill to weave through the inherent sadness in unexpectedly cozy ways. A nice change of pace from the often overwhelming movie merriment of December. See more 12/20/2016 As a former graveyard security guard, I can say that this film nailed the loneliness of minimal human interaction during long, dark winter nights. This is not a happy Christmas movie; or even a Christmas movie at all. It is a great demonstration of what can be done with grounded, intimate storytelling on a tiny budget. See more 02/28/2016 Between a 7/10 and 8/10, delicate and restrained, the film offers the messages of redemption and renewal we so often crave from a Christmas movie without wrapping its themes and characters in tinsel. See more 12/23/2015 OMG--when is something going to happen? See more Read all reviews
