Merry Good Enough (2023)
Brilliantly Crafted Storytelling
22 December 2023 - 1 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
That "Merry Good Enough" is a film about a dysfunctional family is certainly a good entry point, but this story displays much more in its depiction of very imperfect characters that, despite their divergent individual paths, still need that nexus of familial connection. This story is told so brilliantly by everyone involved that it really snuck up on me just how invested I was. The acting is playful and enjoyable but heartbreakingly beautiful as well. Raye Levine shines as Lucy, and her scenes are as fun and quirky as they are moving and poetic. This is a truly delightful film and one that ought to find its place among the canon of Christmas classics.
