With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for people who start the Christmas movies early and fans of a well-timed joke. Made to be watched with the tree lit. Shelve it next to Blindspotting.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 37 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Dutch, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1960: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
The story of three torn apart families on the verge of Sinterklaasavond, the Dutch equivalent of Christmas Eve.
