CHRISTMAS EVE IN MILLER'S POINT (2024)


A family gathers for what maybe their last Christmas together at the matriarch’s home. It seems time is making it hard for her to care for herself.

This isn’t a narrative so much as just time with the family. There are no lead characters, just people at the party/dinner. We wander through the proceedings. “Plot” points come together via references in the dialog around us. This is more akin to being there with the characters but without the food.

You are either going to love this or not. It’s not that any of this is bad, rather it’s simply like being at a family gathering. How you react to it is going to be determined by how much nostalgia you have for this fort of thing. The reviews I read were split into how people related it to their own lives.

Worth a look if you’re interested but it may not be the be all and end all.
