Natal Sob Fogo Cruzado

Disjointed, horrible acting, dialogue, etc., etc. It doesn't fully sync with any genre, while also being promo-ed as "Christmas-related" on Netflix.

Christmas Crossfire is also sexist, misogynistic male-fantasy trash. Yay.

This movie is like a painting where you just cannot grab the meaning the painter intended to show. Filmmaking is art and so is this movie, but the film is like a painting that is made with great technique by a master and nonetheless lacks substance of what the painter wants us to see. So like in a museum in front of a paining that I do not understand I sit here and wonder what all this was about. I am at a loss, confused, and I was in this state most of the time watching this film. And this is what this movie tells us about the writer and director: he obviously was at a loss and confused. Nice views, nice acting, but a diffuse story that pulls the whole film into the dirt.

What a pity!

Film is art, and many people don't seem to understand that these days.

To evaluate this movie only on the basis of its plot would be very naive. First-class actors and ingeniously impressive images are simply ingorated here by some critics.

The movie is a welcome change from the currently omnipresent superhero and sci-fi movie hype. Its story is much more profound than it first suggests, which is why I also doubt the comprehension of some critics here.

Personally, I was quite taken by the story, although I can understand that one or the other expects more. But why do people then judge the movie as bad, if its simply not their genre? In germany everybody knows: "The best german movies are the ones without a specific genre!"

This movie is indeed a successful reveu of the, well known, german classic "Wir können auch anders".

This movie lacks subtext, there is no explanation of any characters choices, full of plot holes and random scenes that make little to no sense. Not to mention bad dialogues that made everything even more confusing.

Absurdistic, with a lot of dark humour. For the ones who like a Quentin Tarantino style movie, although this one contains a little less blood. Don't expect a complex story line, but it is entertaining and has some surprising twists.
