With a cast of Scottish, German and French actors all speaking their own language, writer-director Christian Carion has fashioned a deeply moving and uplifting piece.Full Review

Ray Bennett

A period drama marbled with humor, bold gestures and bittersweet consequences.Full Review

Lisa Nesselson
Variety

Joyeux Nol is gritty and disturbing with its extended scenes of war and destruction. It also is emotional, even a touch sentimental.Full Review

Claudia Puig
USA Today

Its sentimentality is muted by the thought that this moment of peace actually did take place, among men who were punished for it, and who mostly died soon enough afterward.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

It takes an extraordinary film on the order of Joyeux Noel to make it all suddenly vital, immediate and human.Full Review
