About
You may like this if you enjoy low-key, slice-of-life relationship stories with an improvised feel, similar to Drinking Buddies; Not for you if you want a big, cozy Christmas movie or a fast, plot-driven comedy.
Pros: natural conversations; relatable family tension; strong performances | Cons: thin plot; slow pace; not very festive
