I saw this film at Noordelijk Filmfestival 2011 (in Leeuwarden, province of Friesland NL).You'd better be a bit of a masochist when booking this film. Not that anything sadistic or painful in the physical sense is shown, but you get several awkward moments presented on the screen, that are not pleasant to see. Each is kept short, luckily, as some would be unbearable otherwise. No blood, no horror, just embarrassing. On the other hand, the uncomfortable scenes can better not be left out, as that would have devoured the film from its core.
Beautifully engineered script that succeeds in tying these scenes together, though everyone in his right mind will maintain how statistically improbable it is that these four main characters eventually have a Christmas dinner together. The looks exchanged when these four meet in the final scene, conspiring to hide that they met before in completely different circumstances, are priceless.
All in all, in spite of the awkward (albeit short) moments, I could do nothing else than giving the maximum score for the audience award when leaving the theater. Don't let my choice of words frighten you, and don't let it withhold you from seeing this film.
