This picture is dark and challenging, but ultimately satisfying in a bitter sweet sort of way. Finally, we have Christmas movie that that gets at the real "meaning" of Christmas without shrinking away from real life.
It is gritty and tough, but uplifting and dares viewers to consider their own lives, and challenges us to be better humans.
Eddie Izzard's quirky performance is at once endearing and edgy.
Most if not all Christmas movies have a kind of miracle (even if it's a subtle one) at their center. Most of the time the miracle is unearned. One can't say that about this picture.
