MERRY CHRISTMAS (Joyeux Noel) (2005) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Christian Carion

Written by - Christian Carion

Starring - Diane Kruger, Guillaume Canet, Benno Furmann, Dany Boon, Gary Lewis, Daniel Bruhl

 

"The story of how the Germans, Scottish and French soldiers fraternised on Christmas Eve during World War I. Carion's film means well and carries a wonderful message of peace and humanity, but it does so thought over-sentimentalisation and by compiling a list of the most conventional and predictable of vignettes."
