Notre Noël à la ferme

Well, whadyaknow, a Christmas film with no boring bits.

This is a crazy film with crazy characters and crazy situations so you can't equate it to real life. It's not intended to. The 100 minutes just flew by.

Forget about any deep analysis. All you have to do is sit down and enter into the spirit of it. It's clearly aimed at younger children but if you're still young at heart, like me, it will be fun. Add in the feel-good factor and Bob's your Uncle.

Christmas films are not really my thing but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Bonus. The music was excellent.

Shame the village is fictional otherwise I'd be moving there pronto!!

Cute and silly. It was over dramatic and overacted, I think on purpose. I think I'm some ways it was meant to be a bit of a spoof on the overdone "save the farm" type Christmas movies with an intense climax all pent up in one moment. Some people may find this cringe or obnoxious but I found it very funny and silly. I had a smile on through most of the movie.

Don't forget all the animals! Baby pigs, baby goats, fabulous ponies, it was adorable. I'm sure kids would love it with the furries and bright colors.

The production quality was a bit low. There were some glitches that I couldn't tell if it was the movie or Netflix.

Unlike the average american christmas boogaloos, with rich and perfect people in star spangled decked halls of joy, dressed up with the hottest of christmas clothes and gifts that makes the average tv viewer dizzy of expectations and cravings...

mostly because this is a british made flick on the topic. Most of all its a darn colourfilled charade of a christmas parade, set in the hilly meadows rural south of london somewhere, where a lonesome overworked ,just widoved man and his 5 children celebrates the holidays at a just inherited from an estranged fathers farm. But the hi-fi feeling of lack of wi.fi, and a commanding boss in the city that demands the biggest project in the companys history to be ready at the 24th of december, and the culprit that has to do that job is the allready stressed out single father.

... i shall not spoil more of the fun, just say that this film is for the most childiest children and ditto adults, because its chaos deluxe but enchanting for sure.

The production overall bears signs of amateurism, the lead cameraman has for sure blue jeans, and the light settings are somehow too bright, but the decorations and colourfilled x-mas light settings do shake the foundations of a grumpy old man, story and plot though aint more than it should be.a small recommend.

I'm a fan of cheesy Christmas movies but this was not that.

Honestly got irritated and frustrated at so many turns. There was Emotional manipulation all over the place that was just glossed over & that really bothered me.

The story was all over the place & while I'm used to Christmas movies being just that this gave me whiplash going from one thing to another without making any sense.

There are so many Christmas movies don't waste your time on this one.

Characters were chaotic to say the least. I usually like just about every Christmas movie but this was disappointing. Instead of a feel good movie this triggered my anxiety repeatedly.

Every year, I watch what I anticipate to be the worst Holiday movies of the season, and play a fun little game where they earn points based on how tropey and cringey they are. This one blew every movie I have ever watched out of the water. The acting? Phenomenal(ly terrible). The costuming? I think the design team just picked up a pattern book that said "World's Ugliest Crochet" and went with it, zero further thought. The hoe-down country bedazzle/on and off queer-coding of some characters? CHEF'S KISS. I believe in gentle parenting and am generally a patient and peaceful person, but this movie made me think if I were in the protagonists' shoes I would do my best to reinstate capital punishment for that village. Every single turn in the plot somehow takes you to a more nightmarish destination than you were before. I was actually filled with rage. It was so beautiful. I'm crying.
