Absolutely not."
Another Netflix Christmas 2022 offering sees the ever-reliable Justin Hartley playing a successful single jazz-loving crime author with a tragic past who returns to the family home after the passing of his mother and gets involved with the adopted daughter of his former nanny looking into her true background. Together, they embark on a backwoods road trip to find Hartley's estranged father for answers. Unlike most festive-themed films, here Christmas almost provides an unnecessary backdrop to this heartfelt but very restrained film that rarely strays beyond one-note but which nevertheless quietly unfolds its quite intimate and adult tale with sincerity and clarity.
