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.

Ready Steady Cut

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.

Switch the Christmas tree lights on, grab some hot chocolate, wrap up in a blanket and enjoy this charming festive film!

I don’t how this is not on everyone’s Christmas list. It’s funny, charming, and sweet. I suppose if you don’t like Anna Kendrick you might want to skip this, but she is in magnificent comic form, working with a wonderful supporting cast including an insanely cute toddler reindeer.

Corny, cheesy, glitzy and a tad cringy but over the top Christmas culture will adore it. Honestly can’t recommend it though

So surprised at the low ratings. This movie is adorable, funny, heartfelt and a great family holiday movie. It has been on our annual list since it came out!

My family thought it was charming and sweet. As opposed to many of the offerings, it at least has some originality. We disagree with the cynics among the critics and the more jaded audience members...
