Another Year Together

This is a charming film about the ups and downs of spending the holidays in New York City with friends, and loved ones. This film had plenty of moments that made me genuinely laugh as well as a couple of conversations that were truly insightful which made me think of my own life challenges. There are numerous ensemble characters in the film, all of which are uniquely crafted and serve the story better. The subplot of the protagonist's mother and father really cracked me up. I would recommend this film to anyone, but I would say that it makes it all the more charming to watch between Thanksgiving and Christmas!

It's a gem!
