Mike B The movie is cliched and predictable, some of the acting is diabolical and the ending is unsatisfactory. I watched the film knowing full well that it was 1hr 42 of my life that I wouldn’t get back but wanted to know the significance of the eponymous reindeer, unfortunately I am still in the dark about that. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Dan P Lovely Christmas movie, beautifully shot and the little girl is wonderful. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Brian K While Disney-like in several respects, the writing and acting in this movie elevates it above the usual type of "family feel-good" Holiday fare. Cromwell is the bedrock of this movie, but not the "star" per se. Conflict, grief/loss and celebration of life and wonder are all dealt with very well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Avalon T This was a great family feel good movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review colin l Lovely family Christmas movie and may have shed a tear or two! James Cromwell is wonderful as the granddad and his paring with the brilliant young actress Darcey Ewart is loads of fun. My 7 year old loved the reindeer too. Definitely recommend a watch this Xmas.
