The Last Christmas Party

I really enjoyed this film - a first time feature-length film from the director. Excellent casting (Charlie, Caroline, and Jun in particular), soundtrack, and filming. It pulled me in and connected me with the characters from the start, and the non-linear film approach to the scenes gave the characters and storyline depth and interest. Well done!

If you want a cheery, feel good, Christmas movie then this is not for you. If you are open-minded and willing to sit back without prejudice and enjoy a film then you could be pleasantly surprised. Watching people flirting with indecision as they are about to embark on the next stage of life brought back memories. This was both funny and poignant.

Just a typical party set around Christmas time. This is very dialog driven and sometimes very entertaining but other times making you wonder whats going on. I think the ending saved.

A Christmas party. Three couples about to be separated for semester break. Three different angles to the same party and events that transpire over the evening. Lots of emotions shared, bared and talked about during the same evening. if you are looking for happy endings or happy, jolly Christmas fare then I would avoid this. If you like movies with raw emotions and ambiguity then you will probably like this film.

Director: Julian Carlo Santos and Writers: Kevin Nittolo, Julian Carlo Santos have offered up a movie who's plot is greater than the sum of its parts.

The setting is one Christmas party in which something happens early on. Then the story is divided into three parts with each part giving the viewer a closer look at whats happening behind the main scene at this party! As the saying goes - still waters run deep!

I enjoyed this movie but found the characterizations of the party participants to be a bit unbelievable. And two of the main characters are way too obvious to be "just friends".
