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
A period drama marbled with humor, bold gestures and bittersweet consequences.Full Review
Joyeux Nol is gritty and disturbing with its extended scenes of war and destruction. It also is emotional, even a touch sentimental.Full Review
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
It takes an extraordinary film on the order of Joyeux Noel to make it all suddenly vital, immediate and human.Full Review
