See the films the platforms disagree about most →A festive gathering at a family home is meant to be a time of joy and reunion. However, the various family members arriving each carry their own secret worries and unspoken tensions. Over the course of the holiday, hidden truths and personal struggles begin to emerge, testing the family's bonds and challenging their collective spirit of Christmas, all while snow falls quietly outside their cozy but strained home.
