Editor’s note: Christmas Carole (2024) in a nutshell: A confident blend of Comedy, Family, focused more on tone than spectacle. Under Jeanne Gottesdiener’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Didier Bourdon, Noémie Lvovsky, Jules Sagot anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. At 1h 39m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Divisive in places—approach it for its atmosphere rather than novelty. If the premise speaks to you, this one’s easy to recommend.
