signsoflife4 Dec 26, 2025If I were an actor, I'd totally get the appeal of working with an eccentric director like Jamie Adams and making an improvised movie out of a loose premise; as a spectator, though, I don't necessarily believe that lends itself into a more natural, authentic or good story—The Holiday List was a mess, at no point in this movie can you affirm what any of these characters want, where they stand with neither themselves nor one another, where they're gonna go (they're all just miserable all the time); by the end, after the characters finally sprint themselves self into a wall, you can only feel like you've wasted your time. Siblings or dating, except the couple looks like siblings, and the siblings have better chemistry than a couple. Dad is a mourning alcoholic whose story kind of never gets better. Lola is lesbian intensity personified and adds nothing to the overarching storyline. And both couples should've broken up. Two points for Brittany Snow and lesbians. Points off for the French mess of it all.
