Review of Happy Christmas (2014) by Bill B — 13 Jul 2016

Joe Swanberg is a genius! He makes things that feel real! This one is the most real though, with a documentary feel. The directing is obviously good! The cinematography was very good, and the performances and script were outstanding! And there are definitely a few laughs, but it's not hilarious.

But that's not what it's trying to be. I loved Joe and Anna's characters, but only liked Melanie's character. She got to be annoying at times. The story is where it falls apart. It's a pretty good plot, but I didn't feel it was used to it's full potential, and some of the stuff it did was very annoying.

This is a very re-watchable movie!
