Sundance 2014: 'Happy Christmas' Review


The latest from Joe Swanberg, Happy Christmas, is a perfectly pleasant comedy-drama about a family in Chicago getting ready for the holidays and coping with one of its members' (played by Anna Kendrick) flagrant immaturity. Swanberg, as per norm, goes for the casual, offhand observation. If you've never seen any of his movies, this is a decent place to start. My review is up at Paste.
