Well i have a problem with those two...Diggin for fire...i mean i didnt even understand what was that about. Really.The Argonaut wrote:Digging for Fire is wonderful, just a beautiful movie. Joe Swanberg is really something special. Happy Christmas and this one are just tops, and Drinking Buddies was good too. I've only seen one of his pre-Drinking-Buddies movies. I've got to dig into his catalogue more.

I used to loved that kind of movie...but Swanberg seems to be in a really lazy mode with those two. I mean, I like Drinking Buddies and his previous movies, and the way he makes them is cool...But these two? whats to like in Happy Christmas?durdencommatyler wrote:Yeah, it doesn't seem like your cup of tea.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I think I watched the first 10 minutes of Happy Christmas.

Happy Christmas? Who?The Argonaut wrote:the humanity. Those two films contain some of the purest and realest love I've ever seen on screen.

It's not a subpar movie. It's not as good a film as Drinking Buddies, but it's not subpar either. That's the same kind of logic that has me claiming everything is "great" or "the living worst." It's a fallacy.VinylGuy wrote:cmon joey...every frame? is a sub par movie even for Joe Swamberg standar...And i did like DB.durdencommatyler wrote:Pretty much every frame, really.VinylGuy wrote:whats to like in Happy Christmas?
I agree with you with the idea of ¨great¨or ¨the worst¨. Thats why i called it just ¨subpar¨.durdencommatyler wrote:It's not a subpar movie.

You don't have to bash or disparage one at the expense of the other.
Happy Christmas is a wonderful story full of fantastic performances. Ann Kendrick, Melanie Lynskey (who is a grossly underrated actress) and Lena Duhnam are all outstanding in the film. Such great performances. Such honesty. Such lovely, no-nonsense film work. It's like a play on film. Which, I understand, could and probably would totally turn off LV.
But it's a really well made film, even if it isn't as good as Drinking Buddies.
