Christmess (2023)

A captivating Australian Christmas movie

“Unlike cheery, upbeat mainstream Christmas movies from major studios and streaming services, 2023's Christmess is a more solemn and dramatic festive movie about addiction, depression and loss. Australian Christmas movies are suddenly an annual occurrence thanks to streaming services, but Christmess stands out from the pack because it's not just a quality festive flick but also a genuinely good movie that resonates and lingers. Written and directed by Heath Davis, this is the first Australian Christmas movie with the potential to appeal to international audiences due to its universal themes and its focus on human drama. With an affecting story grounded in realism, along with an exceptional cast, Christmess is absorbing viewing no matter the time of year.
