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.

Liz Moody

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

Financial Times

This could well prove a dependable alternative winter warmer for years to come.

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

For a while, it’s all genuinely lovely, but there is an unpleasant moment around an hour into the film when you realise you’re no longer enjoying it that much, and the constant ducking of anything resembling a plot has long begun to grate.

Rated: 2/5

Kevin Harley

Radio Times

With Michael Cera and Gregg Turkington adding dustings of wit as useless cops, the result unfolds as an evocative meditation on seasonal tradition and change, mounted with winning warmth and style.

Rated: 4/5

Laura Stott

The Sun (UK)

There’s a cluster of character clichés – a deaf grandma, rebellious teen, proud mum, cute kids and closeted cop. New arrivals are constantly turning up to eat – yet not one manages to be interesting.

Rated: 1/5

Jennie Kermode

Eye for Film

The camera drifts through it at a leisurely pace, back and forth, up and down, taking in different details one might when wandering around drunk or half asleep. From these, story and meaning gradually coalesce.

Rated: 5/5

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 .
