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.

Ryan Gilbey

Sight & Sound

Tyler Taormina’s sprawling portrait of an Italian-American family’s festive gathering in Long Island makes for an enjoyably hazy Christmas movie.

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.

Cameron Ritter

Geek Vibes Nation

There’s an intense relatability found in this film, and Tyler Taormina has tapped into the collective memory bank of generations of people who grew up in America in a way I’ve never seen before.

Rated: 7.5/10

Samantha Schuster

Cinéfilo Serial

A film for those who enjoy seeing life itself captured on a screen, where every viewer can relate, and not so much for those who expect to see the development of a particular conflict. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

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 .
