Reviews for this film from our members:
- Joshua Brunsting @ The CriterionCast
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: An appealing comedy filled with authentic everyday life scenes revolving around marriage and siblings.
- Bill Clark @ From The Balcony
- Dustin Jansick @ Way Too Indie
- Excerpt: More meandering and less polish than Swanberg’s previous effort, though the film contains similar charm and a lighthearted spirit.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Like a person who takes forever to get to their point, filled with entirely too much inarticulateness, the film is more mundane life than interesting cinema. Reliably observant and unforced as it is, “Happy Christmas” is also a frustrating paradox: it begins agreeably, eventually grows tedious and then ends pointlessly.
- Frank Ochieng @ Sound on Sight
- Excerpt: Happy Christmas is gingerly perceptive, observational and soundly giddy in its presentation of showcasing a family vacuum of intolerance and trepidation.
- Norm Schrager @ Meet In the Lobby
- Excerpt: … adds to Swanberg’s likeable dynamic.
