Critics Consensus

The always charming Anna Kendrick does her best, but Noelle's progressive take on a timeless tale is unfortunately subdued.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

You'll have forgotten every last thing about Noelle by next Christmas, but that's almost a plus side to its flimsy charm - those baubles won't put themselves up.

Rated: 3/5

Chicago Sun-Times

Over all, Noelle is subpar - but it's silly, harmless fun. It's so forgettable it'll be virtually erased from your memory five minutes after the end credits roll.

Rated: 2/4

Whatever your idea of a sentimental connect-the-dots Christmas comedy is, this is sub that.

Noelle is pleasant to watch, but is almost exclusively dependent on the heaping amount of charm that Anna Kendrick brings to the table.

It's the time of year when Christmas films are pushed to the homepage of streaming services, and do you know what? We're not mad about it.

Honestly I thought this was light-hearted and harmless in the best way possible, all of the little subtleties to the storyline sprinkled throughout, easy to watch, silly and really enjoyable for me and my 6yr old son to cosy up and watch together. My son says it was adorable, heart-warming and Snowcone was his favourite character he wishes there was a second film!

Starring Anna Kendrick as the daughter of Santa Claus, who must convince her brother to take over the family business. This film was part of the new content for the Disney+ release. The biggest disappointment of this film is that they cast Anna Kendrick and it isn’t a musical. Even though she doesn’t sing, Kendrick does a good job in the lead role. Some of the jokes in the film don’t land, but overall there is a charm to the film. I don’t think this will become a Christmas classic, but I think it is worth a watch.

Noelle offers a delightful contemporary twist on the famous folklore of Santa Claus, featuring Kendrick and Hader delivering their trademark humour in this upbeat film.
