Audience Member A young happy traditional woman is faced with a sudden murder of her husband before Christmas. She finds out he was cheating on her. She tries to deal with the shock by getting to know the stripper he was having an affair with. She connects with her and then on to different people with different lives as she goes through her grief. She finds out that people who are supposed to be cliche questionable characters are all just humans who are dealing with their own struggles their own way. Which helps her deal with her own tragedy. This could be a lot better movie with stronger directing and scripting. Too many questions are left open for the viewer. But it does ok for what is clearly a low budget production. It definitely IS a Christmas movie. Just not a traditional one. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Patrick B When you think about how many good Christmas movies have come out in your lifetime, there really aren't that many. This is one of the best Christmas movies in the last 40 years. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/06/21 Full Review Audience Member Original, but definitely not a "Christmas movie" as such. Set in December, a woman returns home to find her husband has been murdered, and shortly after, that he was cheating on her for months with a stripper. The movie is her coping in various ways, including drug use, befriending the stripper, spending all her money online and attending her neighbors sex party. All of this is shown in quite an ugly and confronting way. Things don't tie up nearly, there is no cheesy family Christmas ending, though there is a sense of her coming through to the end of the grief and hurt. A lot is left to the viewer to interpret, which a lot of people don't like. It's not a comedy either. I liked it, but it won't suit all tastes. So be warned! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A disturbing Christmas movie that involved a lot of kinky sex, drugs caused by a serious depression. The movie never actually teaches you anything. It makes you observe quietly. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member While the indie film White Reindeer is an interesting character drama, it kind of loses its way halfway through. The story follows a real-estate agent whose husband is killed a few weeks before Christmas, and after learning that he was having an affair, she spirals out of control. Anna Margaret Hollyman gives a good performance, but it becomes hard to sympathize with her character after a while. And the message of the film is really muddled; it's not about forgiveness, or redemption, etc., etc. White Reindeer lacks focus and ends up being incredibly disappointing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Quirky micro-budget independent, doesn't feel awkward enough and lacks the emotional depth to have any real impact. Good ideas and a couple of fun moments though. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
