Review of Jolly

Jolly (2020)
it is just shame !
22 December 2023
A man laying on couch .

An animatronic Santa head interpreting its songs with pause of few minutes.

Enough for a very short film about Christmas Eve. Because the purpoise is simple - to remind bizzarerie of animatronic toys, to remind the entire fatigue of christmas Eve, between job and holliday period.

Good photography, nice work of toy and actor.

But the end is just awful. Absurd, quasistupid and forced. Because the director figures this film as a horror. It is not . Maybe a kitch version of Sleepy Hollow.

And it is just shame to destroy, so foolish a nice idea, rich in signification, a sort of Seinfeld, for my taste better for a crazy end , returning to dusty holliday slasher in some form.
