Entertainment Reviews:
A personal, hilarious and well-made work of art piped straight to me on my couch; if that's the form that the rescue of the modern film comedy is going to take, I refuse to complain.

Battleship Pretension
Happy Christmas is a simple and sobering affair that calls into question the roles of women and the choices contemporary society expects them to make, be they vocational or familial.

CineVue
Loosely crafted story works and has an easy natural flow ... shooting on 16mm, Ben Richardson's cinematography is textured with a 70's cinematic feel.

Behind The Lens
[D]espite the excellent characters, the results are underwhelming.

Rating: 3/4 --
A slightly above average example of a kind of movie - and of a trend within movies - that needs to be encouraged.

Rating: 3/5 --
If you need a Christmas film with more heart and less schmaltz, this could be the right choice.

Rating: B --
Swanberg's naturalistic, improvised style lets the conflict come about organically, repeatedly putting the characters in situations to which they could react with clichés but instead go with something more empathetic and nuanced.

Product Description:
Two disparate women establish a friendship that provides them with precisely the support they both need in this independent drama from writer/director Joe Swanberg. Christmas is coming, and after breaking up with her boyfriend, short-sighted Jenny needs a place to stay. Fortunately, her brother Jeff and his wife Kelly have a swanky basement that is currently unoccupied. Shortly after arriving at their Chicago home and settling in, Jenny finds her penchant for alcohol and pot impeding her attempts to get her life straightened out. Meanwhile, despite her frustrations at watching her sister-in-law flounder in a downward spiral, Kelly, too, begins to feel as if she has run out of options. Later, as the Christmas lights flicker to life and the snow begins to fall, Jenny and Kelly begin looking to each other for the strength to face the future. Anna Kendrick, Melanie Lynskey, Mark Webber, and Lena Dunham co-star.
