I feel like the marketing materials misrepresent this movie as a holiday comedy when it is none of that. It's a quiet contemplation on belonging, family and choices with a wonderful cast. You might have a couple of laughs but not because it is a comedy, but because life is absurd and sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh at it. The holiday cheer is also no more than a distant backdrop to the events. The cinematography is beautiful and truly transports you back to the era. The film has a lot to say but also doesn't scream at you, allowing you to make your own conclusions.
Highly recommended.
