Viewing Notes

Bonkers movie that is really just “okay” by the end. Harry Dean Stanton needed a little more to do here but the story is fantasy “bad things happen and will be corrected by the christmas spirit or santa or some shit if you are a good person.” Which sounds good but far from reality when really bad shit happens in the movie. Props for filming on location in the winter.

Only an 88 minute runtime but felt like 2+ hours with the Disney+ ads.
