VOD: A New York Christmas Wedding (dir: Otoja Abit, 2020)

"We can't change yesterday, but today matters."

Don't expect a lot of Christmas cheer in this film, in which a young woman under pressure of her upcoming wedding gets the chance to live out an alternative life in which she had acted upon her feelings for teenage best friend.  Often glum, slow, cheap-looking and simply uninteresting, the film remarkably picks up in the last half-hour as its themes of true love, seizing the day and equal rights for all coalesce quite effectively by the end.
