Many Christmas films are totally forgettable but this one stands out like a brilliant beacon in the winter night sky. I thoroughly enjoyed the warmth and sincerity of this film which emphasises in a gentle way the things that truly matter in life. It avoids the Christmas clichés of materialism, snowy scenes and 'Ho Ho Ho' Santa's. The cello-playing little girl was enchanting and her scenes with the old man added to the appeal of the film. After watching this film today I thought a lot about my relationships with my family and friends - something which I usually take for granted.
A family film that I can thoroughly recommend and one which can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Well done to all involved.
