The Last Christmas Party

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".

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!

"The Last Christmas Party" is a thoroughly engaging and surprisingly emotional portrayal of imminently graduating university students negotiating the complexities of the impending changes in their lives. The film addresses this primarily through the relationships of three couples. The interweaving collage of youth flirting with commitment is brilliantly acted. Their issues are explored in such a believable manner that I found myself increasingly emotionally involved in the various plots. The direction, editing and pacing of the film ensures that a measure of frivolity does not detract from the existential dilemmas of characters floundering on the edge of responsibility to others and themselves. The issues are brilliantly enhanced by some subtle understatement. For example, Jun's forthrightness is refined by shades of emotions that suggest a warm persona whilst Ed's nuanced performance is punctuated with laughter on two occasions that hints at perspectives that are not openly articulated. The mood and texture of the film is augmented by brilliant use of original music.

And conclude that this is a film completely without cristmas spirits, its full of universal personal issues , that it seems that everyone has to deal with some time in life, and the deep discussions feel so daft and pretty fatigued on emotions that the GOM almost fell of the wagon.

its a newbies try, there arent many flaws or actor errors, the story is just boring.so if your hi on xmas spirit, stay away from this, itll make you depressed

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.
