Big, brash and powerfully performed but it only sporadically holds the interest.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Has the look, though not the heart, of Dr Seuss tale but its worth a look.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
If theres a more wickedly funny, inventive and totally engrossing festive flick than this, Ive yet to see it. Tremendous.
The Santa Clause 2
Stick this one in your DVD machine straight after youve had your turkey that way if you doze off you wont have missed out on anything.
Olivier Darimant
Aprés La Vie
From its opening shot of Pascal's descent in a funicular, ‘After Life’ follows the irrevocable downward spiral of his life with Agnés, and leaves it to the viewer to decide what will come after. Better than ‘An Amazing Couple’, if not quite as good as ‘On the Run’, it affords the most panoramic view of the events of ‘La Trilogi’, providing many surprising pieces to complete the puzzle. A compelling drama which forms an essential part of Lucas Belvaux’s audacious series.
