Le Noël d'Heartland

Congratulations to everyone involved in making this movie!!! Everyone was great in this Christmas movie and the story was beautiful. My favourite actors in this movie were Amber Marshall and Graham Wardle ..

This is a pretty good drama but not so much a christmas movie! A bit to easy to figure out but okey.

If you look at this as a movie, it's too confusing to enjoy what's going on. But if you follow the show, it goes along perfectly.

I really love the Heartland show and have developed a good appreciation for horses that I would not have if not for this show. However, this movie just is not up to the same standard, though I'm sure it's not for lack of effort. It is totally predictable with just about every Hallmark Christmas movie concept written into it. The script is simply melodramatically over-the-top, but the acting is still excellent in the midst of the poorly written script. I don't think it's worth the time spent to watch it.

The Heartland episode, A Heartland Christmas, written by one of Heatland's best writers, Heather Conkie, encapsulates what is, at least for me, so wonderful about this CBC series. There is the breathtaking beauty of the Rockies, a place I know well. There is the inner strength of the Bartlett clan even in the face of adversity. There is the community coming together to help others, in this case horses trapped in a canyon. And then there are those Heartland themes of healing and redemption. All of these things tie this episode to the holiday season, something missed by that ideological, manichean, and simplistic bull hockey masquerading as a review that Stan Canada is shovelling around. This episode is not to be missed for the wonderful performance by Nicholas Campbell and the final scene between him and Shaun Johnston. As for the deduction, I took some points away from this episode because it doesn't seem to square with the continuity of Heartland seasons one through four.
