Audience Member I dunno. It was a bleak but warm-hearted movie full of pathos. It was also very dark, like, hard to see, and I had a hard time figuring out the details and the connections, (perhaps in some part because of the dimness.) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Dull. Had the potential to be edgy or heart-warming, or even both, but ultimately was neither. Drifts throughout and goes nowhere in the end. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I've seen a few Hamer flicks, and they have all been very good. "Hjem til Jul" was a long awaited film for me, and I was unsure if it would live up to my positive predictions. I watched it a week into the year of 2012. You might say I've had it with christmas by then, but I gave it a shot since I never expected a very "christmasy" story. I didn't want to wait another year either. Anyhow, It starts off all right, placing the viewer in the "unknowing seat" - things are open and you want to get some pieces together. There are some lovely filming here and there certainly is some christmas atmopshere in it, I'm glad it's not to much of it, though. The great thing with the film is the way we get served several stories here, and you watch them seperatly without even noticing. It's very well crafted! It felt a bit flat, but being only one hour, 25 minutes long there was no problem keeping the focus up. The last ten, fifteen minutes or so was remarkable and truly a lovely watch. Not a masterpice, but a very enjoyable, and realistic christmas movie. Maybe the most realistic one I have seen.
