Merry Good Enough (2023)
Merry Good Enough: Because Perfection is on Vacation this Holiday!
Not your typical Xmas movie- it had me crying and laughing through its depiction of a REAL family with REAL issues that everyone can relate to. I saw the film at an advanced screening at the YoFi Film Festival and was able to ask the cast, co-directors, and the writer questions, what a treat.
The opening scene of the movie- set inside a cramped elevator- set up the tension and intimacy of the whole movie. My favorite scene was a series of artfully blurred slo-mo shots that pulled me into a lullaby-dream state. The old-fashioned holiday music throughout the film set the tone of warmth and longing for times far away. From cursing out a crazy neighbor to plunging into the ocean at sub-freezing temperatures, the movie was filled with frenzy and a passion that could only have emerged from something raw, wild, and true.
I can't wait for the film's release so that I can rent and rewatch to my heart's content!
