charming

Obvious, I love it. Because it preserves all flavors of my childhood . Because it is that kind of Christmas films proposing self rediscover. An elf looking for know the people. A Santa having not the most charming experiences with humans. A boy and his father, exploring, together, a fantastic world. A skeptical mother. The grandparends reminding, in some measure, the grandpa of Heidi. And a lot of adventures.I do not know what can propose/ suggest this film to a Western / American public. For me, it was a fine resurrection of memories about Arabella, Polish animation, Soviet fairy tales adaptations.Sure, a lot of unrealistic situations ( the turn of mother can be the first ) and flaws. But it is a profound charming film. This is its basic trait, most important fact and the feelings after final credits are the best. And the young Dawid propose a great role, reminding, in fair way, the unique maturity and wisdome of children.

A fun Christmas film that it isn't too sweet or cliche

I wasn't expecting much from this film, like most Netflix Christmas movies, but this was an enjoyable watch. It wasn't annoying and flashy and loud. It wasn't too sweet and sappy either. The costumes and sets were top quality and I enjoyed the natural acting. The story was engaging and had some cute, funny moments. For the commenter who mentioned dubbing, you can switch your Netflix settings to subtitled and the problem is solved. Overall, it's a fun little film that captures the season and doesn't rely on cliches. A very good effort.
