Happy Christmas

Joe Swanberg's latest is another great look at a relationship not seen developed much in films, sister-in-laws. Drinking Buddies was one of my favourite films from last year and Anna Kendrick jumps back in to play a very different character. It's delightfully observed and rather funny too. And for such an improvised scene process it's interesting they shot on film, but it adds a warm vintage feel to it.

Always loved Melanie Lynskey and she's wonderful as always here. And the dynamic between them all is great fun to watch. There's not really much to the story, the required ups and downs are there but  it's plenty fun, perhaps not as cohesive as Drinking Buddies but this one has a cute kid and fun end credit scenes.
