Review of Happy Christmas (2014) by Kj P — 28 Nov 2014

Very well-acted and very well-directed, "Happy Christmas" is one of those little gems that come out every now and then and kind of passes you by. I felt a sense of warmth viewing this picture, mainly due to it's rough edge feel and naturalistic vibe both from a character and filmmaking stand point.

Even though Anna Kendrick has been in big Hollywood films, it is nice to see her pursuing nice indie roles where her true acting talent shines. Time and time again, independent filmmakers get their films out there and nobody is able to see them.

It is a real shame, because, even though this is not an incredible film, it has amazing life lessons throughout and it makes you feel very good by it's conclusion. At a mere eighty minutes, "Happy Christmas" is a great treat and I highly highly recommend it.
