Reunidos no Natal

If you don't want to think about the pain that relationships can cause at Christmas, skip this one. It's a good story, about the daughter's relationship and that of her divorced parents. Of course there are happy endings for all, and I loved how they used Nana's posthumous instructions to have a wonderful Christmas.

I love it for be a film about family in high measure, for nice nuances and for good acting, for atmosphere and for fair perspective about marriage. And for the fairy tale beginning. And, no doubts, for the portrait of Nana, for her posthumuous gifts and for a so rare freshness. A beautiful story and a seductive, sure, in reasonable measure, Christmas story. So, just more than nice.

Honestly I found this a bit refreshing. The love story was one that existed prior to the start of the movie and not some world wind 2 week romance or two people reunited after years. I do feel that it belonged on HM&M and not regular Hallmark as it wasn't light like Hallmark movies are. Overall it was a sweet story about family and the spirit of Christmas.

Hallmark Christmas 2018 has been a dissapointment to me; but this movie reminded me of its prior brilliance. It does have a sad turn; but so does Christmas sometimes. I loved the lead actors and their chemistry was apparent. It is a great reminder that there is laughter even in the face of loss. Worth a watch.

This is not the typical Hallmark Christmas movie...and it was good! No lost love found. No okd boyfriend. No one running away from a deadend job to find love. No fake royalty. No dad with a child who lost his/her mother. It's a wonderful movie about family. It's a movie about dealing with self-doubt. It's a movie about love - family, fiance, mother, father, sister, and grandmother. Yes-it has the typical Hallmark happy ending. I wish Hallmark would do more "family" movies and not concentrate so mych on finding long lost love by going to a small town...
