I am more of a classical Japanese film fan. If a movie wasn't by Kurosawa then I'm not likely to watch it.
I saw this movie at a film festival during Covid. I wasn't planning on watching the whole thing but the opening scenes were fascinating and the lack of dialogue kept me locked in for some reason. I don't know why, but I couldn't stop watching it. I'm still not sure how I feel about the movie but it is marvelously crafted and the director did a fantastic job.
It is visually stunning and frankly, as a director myself, it makes me jealous. I wish that I could make a movie like that.
I would have written a review earlier but I have been looking for the title of this film for a couple of years until I found it through AI tools. Definitely worth watching.

Why? Because it is possibly the worst Christmas movie ever made. Everything about it is absolutely horrible. The lighting is bad, the story is bad, even something as simple as the driving sequences are bad. It's so successfully bad.
The woman who plays the mom is a decent actress, but that's literally the only thing that this from has going for it. Which is actually kind of unfortunate because if she was a bad actress at least it would be completely and purely awful.
If you work in film, just watch this for a good laugh. Actually many laughs. A particular delight is the bad actor versus car projection screen when he is 'driving.' beautiful. Lots of technical mistakes. It's like watching a bad student film that they tried to cover up with hallway decent music.
