Mon ange de Noël

I was trawling through Hallmark style christmas/romance flix on Netflix and clicked this expecting the usual, but wow, did we get more than we expected. This is NOT your usual cookie-cutter rom-com. It's a thoroughly unique and beautifully crafted piece that is both wonderful to watch AND thought provoking, without using a sledgehammer. I would say that I want to find more movies like this, except there aren't any. That's a big part of what makes it so good. As long as you have an open mind about love and accept that love-is-love, then I highly recommend taking the time to watch this wonderful movie. You won't be disappointed. I know I wasn't.

This film had so much potential. It was great to find an Xmas movie with a multiracial leading cast and to see a LGBQT Christmas love story. Just a shame that it wasn't executed better.

I think the film could've been much better if the 2 lead actresses had actually had chemistry. It was painful to watch them together. I enjoyed the story though.

The first part of this movie meandered without much quality storytelling. However, shallowness makes way for depth by the end. Some fantasy aspects seemed too farfetched. Suspend reality and go on the journey. Acting seemed to get better throughout but overall fairly average by some cast members. Social commentary aspects pushed my rating higher. I think more of these stories should be told.

I came across this in a Netflix search for the typical holiday movie. This is much deeper and more meaningful. I agree with some reviews re the filming quality. But the story is beautiful. And the actor playing Azreal was excellent. Really moving.
