BrettSplained It's amazing to read some of the glowing reviews of this movie and think that's the same movie I watched. Or that said reviews came from professional critics, paid to write them. This was one of the worst movies I've seen for a while, whose story was devoid of interest, and whose attempt at anything drew little or no reaction. Poor script, poor characters, poor acting. If you're after racking up WOFTAM experiences, then I highly recommend Christmess. Otherwise, steer clear, because, Christ, it's a mess. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Craig M If you are looking for a feel good Christmas movie that gives you a sense of hope and optimism for the future, then this is not it. Scroll on. However, if you want a gritty masterpiece that tells it like it is in a matter-of-fact Australian laconic manner with a good touch of dry, dark humour , then this is the movie of 2023 that you need to watch. Filled with flawed, but likeable complex characters, this is the film that will make you remember that Christmas is far more that tinsel, happy families and abundance. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Paul M Great film! not quite what I expected but well worth a watch, great characters and lots of heart. Darren Gilshenan was exceptional. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Bruce R Really simple, special film with a fresh take on the emotional experience of Christmas for so many people. Fractured families dealing with the hurt of abandonment and addiction and the need for forgiveness. Give it a go! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Libby H Actually amazing. I really cared about the characters, and as the movie went on, I grew MORE invested, not less (which doesn't always happen these days, as we're so used so quick videos). I thought the script was the greatest strength. I adore the Aussie subtlety. The three main characters' chemistry was fantastic. It's Aussie suburban Christmas nostalgia but it genuinely stings. It is not in the least saccharine. I know I'm going to watch this movie again and again. It has Little Fish vibes. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Liz S Really enjoyed seeing the Christmess premiere which is certainly not your usual happy, fun-filled Christmas storyline. This movie is funny, insightful and thought-provoking with fabulous characterisations by the actors who portray the reality of what can be a typical dysfunctional Aussie Christmas and the particular stressors that some families have to deal with. Great to see a movie filmed in the local South Western Sydney area with terrific local talent, Nicole Pastor I highly recommend this film which is definitely one to add to your "Must See" watch list Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
