Gives the impression of an in-joke that never quite lands.

Lost Holiday lacks the forced enthusiasm of other Christmas-set films, but it’s far from being downright downhearted either.

Rated: 3/5

It is a fleet, irresponsible joy of a thing, and above all, a middle finger to purpose, good taste, or any need for likeable characters.

This odd tonal shift leads the film to careen uneasily from gritty thriller to mumblecore comedy...Sheil helps ground the film despite the Matthews' mess of a script.

If you want a holiday film that's not a sickly sweet family-fest, but instead a darkly humorous caper about the tradeoffs of adulting in today's world, go watch this smart, entertaining film. It's full of great performances, especially the lead actress and her best friend/partner in crime, who also co-wrote and co-directed the film with his brother. The characters seem like people you may have grown up with, dated, or met at a party that one time. The script is subtle and creative and it's a treat to watch a movie that feels like it was written by smart people who think you are smart enough to not need spoon feeding.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's a subgenre thriller flick which leaves room for interpretation and worth watching more than once! It manages to split the finer hairs of acceptable genre along the lines of Pulp Fiction or Woody Allen. I recommend it highly.

a twisted funky nostalgia trip of a whodunit. loved the performances and the ingenuity of the script and the cinematography. speaks to my generation's discomfort with the status quo, malaise about the future, and hope for positive impact. loved our central character - she was raucous and elevated and singular. all in all, a delight!

A really fun indie take on a sort of slacker mystery holiday movie. Twisty and entertaining. See it!

It's an enjoyable linklater-esque hangout movie about a couple of Millenials trying to create some meaning within their otherwise drifting and hedonistic lifestyle. It's also a slapstick noir story and comedy of errors. So basically, it's got something for everyone.
