this was one of the most joyous experiences i’ve had all year and no i’m not joking in the slightest
If Davis had any chemistry with delightful Stewart that would maybe salvage her bland character but she didn't. Then you have incredible Aubrey Plaza as the romantic alternative for Stewart's character and it's just mind-boggling where the story goes. As soon as the cameras rolled on Day 1 they should have noticed that and just turn this into lesbian Get Out where Stewart's lovely character is trapped in that house with a nightmare of a girlfriend and her weirdo family. Just imagine Levy's character arriving in the end and rescuing Stewart from all of this and that's it. Consider this situation fuckin' handled. That would be amazing.
Someone make an edit and replace all that cheerful, Christmas music with horror-style score. Then that film will make sense.
if i could go back in time and tell my younger self that one day i’d be watching something like this with my dad while we made a holiday dinner... i wouldn’t have believed it
Depicts what should be an extinction-level event in this relationship between what appears to be an endlessly patient victim (who seemingly has no cause to trust anyone we meet in this film) and a gaslighting narcissist. If this was about a hetero relationship you'd be foaming at the mouth in fury about the level of abuse. I liked the weird sister.
kristen stewart and aubrey plaza took “don we now our gay apparel” to another level in those suits
starting now every lesbian can have their own aubrey plaza and dan levy as gay emotional support friends as a treat
I liked it alright... I don't love awkward comedies though. Nothing too funny about a shitty family.
The cool and frustrating thing about this movie is that it uses the conventions of a really heteronormative genre to tell a story about a specifically gay experience. There's a tension around that for the whole film, and I'm not satisfied with the way it resolves, personally, but it's very interesting to watch.
It's also much funnier than I thought it would be from hearing it described.
I liked this movie cause it fits Kristen Stewart's awkwardness very well. And i never thought i needed Plaza/Stewart duo collaboration 👌; in each of their scenes you can feel more anxiety and tension than in a Villeneuve film.
let me pretend this lesbian hallmark holiday movie didn’t make me rewatch the entire twilight saga right after and gave me the best christmas i ever had
Totally shocked to see some pretty negative reviews. It's cheesy and pretty cliche in some moments, but it's sorta supposed to be right? It's a holiday rom-com and it's a pretty decent one. I've seen much worse than this little gem. Also, this is the most I've liked Kristen Stewart in probably ever.
Happiest Season es una comedia fresca y muy desenfadada. Un romance que sigue todos los estereotipos de las comedias típicas, pero con una pareja que además de espontánea, se siente con una química exacta. Lo mejor es sin duda su protagonista Kristen Stewart, luce bella y de sobra carismática, inyectandole a su personaje una ternura a la cual es difícil resistirse. Claro que hay muchos clichés y algunos personajes sobrados, además de situaciones que pueden llegar a resultar exageradas, pero hay una línea que se respeta y no se rebasa. El reparto es genial, además de Kristen está su coprotagonista, una Mackenzie Davis que la complementa perfecto, además de las bellas Alison Brie y Aubrey Plaza.
