Delicate and restrained, the film offers the messages of redemption and renewal we so often crave from a Christmas movie without wrapping its themes and characters in tinsel. Read full review

This is a Christmas movie in which magic exists largely on the periphery, and that is just the right mix of chilly and sweet. Read full review

A low-key, near-total charmer, writer-director Charles Poekel's Christmas, Again captures something ineffably moving about the holiday grind. Read full review

Charles Poekel displays an assured directorial hand and maintains a modest, appealing, even droll sensibility throughout. Read full review

Poekel and Audley keep exposition to a minimum, allowing the truth behind Noel’s breakup to emerge organically, in the weight of an object or his reaction to a beaming couple. It’s elegant filmmaking, seamless in its storytelling. Read full review

Audley (Ain’t Them Bodies Saints), in practically every frame of the film, has to carry this feather-light narrative on his shoulders and does so with ease. Read full review

Christmas, Again is a low hum of a downer, but maybe that's appropriate. Read full review

Christmas, Again is a unique holiday tale that is both simple and tender. Charles Poekel has cooked together a heartwarming Christmas Film with very few ingredients.
