Critics Consensus

Capturing both the cheer and frustration that accompany holiday gatherings, Christmas Eve in Miller's Point is a yuletide chronicle that rings true.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

There are cruising parallels with American contemporaries the Ross Brothers and Halina Reijn, but this daisy chain has an earnest, festive charm unlike any other. It’s a vibe.

Rated: 4/5

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

Essentially, this is like being in an annoying family reunion, but it's not your family... everything about the film is annoying.

Empire Magazine

More ‘Lost In Long Island’ than ‘Miracle On Main Street’, this offbeat indie ladles on the melancholy mood while skimping on the holiday highs, and seems destined to become a cult Christmas favourite.

Rated: 4/5

It’s curious, unusual, and a little bit mesmerizing.

Movie Brief

Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point is like every holiday party you’ve ever been to, but it’s also not like any of them.

Rated: 3/4

One Guy's Opinion

Alternately affecting and affected, this is a Christmas movie that has a lovely glow but in the end is a hit-and-miss proposition, sometimes insightful but sometimes just awkward.

Rated: C+

The audience is introduced to dozens of family members in the first few minutes, with little character development to follow. Some random non-family characters make appearances little coherence through the movie. Disappointing, and the blurb on Fandango is very misleading.

Mish mash of typical crowded Xmas Eve dinner, etc. If this movie were intended to become a new classic, it failed, at least in my opinion.

Worst movie I have ever seen. I have no idea what it was about, who was related to who. It was not funny and made no sense. If I could give it a ZERO I would. save your money. We would like to get our both our money and our time back .

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
