unlabelledView post →4/25 I thought this one was meh. The main kid wasn't that good and the story portion wasn't really all that magical, plus it had the SLOWEST reindeer ever. But Maggie Smith was of course incredible, and I did like the real world ending. Title: A Boy Called Christmas Where to watch: Netflix

unlabelledView post →If we expanded it beyond rom-coms, to all of Netflix's holiday originals, THAT CHRISTMAS, KLAUS, A BOY CALLED CHRISTMAS, LET IT SNOW and CARRY-ON would probably be my top 5. Though, honestly, 2020's DASH & LILY could be at the top of either list, if only it were a movie, and not a series.

unlabelledView post →But on a darkly funny note, my parents picked A Boy Called Christmas to watch wit the family on Thanksgiving- the DAY AFTER my dog died. A movie deceptively about overcoming and dealing with grief with this zinger of a line toward the end: Grief is the price of love. Their faces: 😳😱😬

Klaus - Netflix A Boy Called Christmas - Netflix Both are fun and both are an unconventional telling of the Christmas story.

unlabelledView post →I'd rank them: 1) Klaus - a perfect movie 2) A Boy Called Christmas - overcomes the abysmal title to be charming and just surprising enough 3) That Christmas - really cool visuals. Like two song montages too for many for me though.

unlabelledView post →This movie "A Boy Called Christmas" is one of the most uncomfortable movies I've ever seen and is an extremely good example of, what is the point of making your movie "live action" when 99% of everything you're looking at is CG? Make it a stylized animated movie not some uncanny valley nightmare
