If you have to watch one movie this Christmas, stream this one right now
- This is Christmas is a low-key charmer, an unabashedly sentimental and optimistic movie with the sole purpose of lifting your spirits.
- This is Christmas takes the central conceit of a morning commute on public transportation and runs with it.
- As each person contributes to the party, they begin to talk to each other in subsequent commutes and prove that a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet.
- Finding a venue for the party proves to be more troublesome than initially thought. Even worse, Emma can't make the party due to her upcoming move to Chicago.
- As Adam, Enoch showcases an earnestness that never becomes grating. Speaking of charming, a key reason why This is Christmas succeeds is due to its cast.
- Scodelario brings an unexpected gravity to Emma that cuts through the sugary sweetness the movie sometimes dishes out.
- Spall stands out from the supporting cast as Ray, who could be your usual crotchety old man but is revealed to be so much more than that stereotype.
- This is Christmas has a bigger budget than most non-Hollywood Christmas movies, and that results in a good-looking movie you want to live in.
- If you've watched the usual standbys like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation or The Family Stone by now and are looking for a new movie to watch while opening presents, then give This is Christmas a view.
- This is Christmas is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
