Mark G @Griff768 Dec 24 Absolute masterpiece - perfect at Christmas! See more 0 A @Bornonthebackdrop Dec 23 Feels like a GCSE film project, but still strangely charming and enjoyable as a Christmas film (if you can suspend criticism and watch this like it's an actual children's nativity play rather than a professional film production). Worst cinematography I've seen in a professional production. Van Hales was presumably just a mate of the producer and wanted to "have a go" at lighting and operating despite, seemingly, having absolutely no understanding or training in how to do either of those highly technical disciplines. Bleached lighting, horrible shadows, weird colours, horribly unbalanced framing that continually shifts mid-shot, constantly zooming in and out mid-shot, camera wobbling all-over the place: all-round a truly disrespectful insult to the art of cinematography. Original Nativity songs are fun. Genuinely charming performances from the children. Wootton was perfect as Mr. Poppy.

What a joyful film. That's the only word ypu can use joyful. It's able to be so joyful while also being able to go deep with some of it's themes. Yeah I just loved it, not much more 8 can say that hasn't already been said.

Martin Freeman is brilliant as Mr. Maddens, and his chemistry with the chaotic, lovable Mr. Poppy brings constant laughs. The children add real charm with their natural, unpolished performances that make the story feel warm, genuine, and full of festive energy. The story’s humour, heart, and honesty set it far above the other three films, giving it a unique magic none of the sequels could match. With catchy songs, a cosy Christmas atmosphere, and emotional moments that feel real, Nativity remains a true holiday classic and a perfect five-star watch for anyone wanting joy, warmth, and plenty of Christmas cheer. Its blend of comedy and sincerity captures the spirit of the season in a way that feels timeless, making it a film people can return to year after year without it ever losing its charm. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ See more Guillermo P Nov 29 The plot is very generic, although it does squeeze in a few decent laughs. Visually, however, the film is a struggle. The cinematography and settings often look outright unpleasant, and from start to finish it plays like a parade of increasingly ugly shots. It is both aesthetically challenged and technically sloppy, with overexposed frames, awkward compositions, and uninspiring locations that drift far closer to a dystopian depressionpunk nightmare than anything resembling a joyful Christmas mood.
