A hidden diamond in the rough
Great film. Performance from Sheen was fantastic, all the cast did a great job.
Love the artistic feel of using different types of cameras and framing / post processing to give 'era' feels to different scenes.
Comparable to the scrooge story, about making changes today and the different tomorrows they can lead you to. Makes you consider priorities, what you call family and that some things are thicker than blood.
I guess since the ghosts 'christmases past and christmases to come' are more metaphorical it's hard to see the connection, but every time he time travelled he arrived at the same time of year in the other eras. Renaming the film to the age of Tony was probably a good call so viewers who don't appreciate the subtle can see it more clearly, and I agree it's not really a christmas themed movie if you're not looking for it.
But it is a great movie just the same!
