Listy do M. Is the Polish equivalent of Love Actually, only a little more touching, sad and natural.
The characters and their individual stories are varied, though some are underdeveloped. Two lonely people who fall in love; a son who finds the courage to introduce his partner to his family; an irresponsible womanizer who, thanks to a little rascal, realizes his duties as a father and partner; a childless couple who adopt an orphan (probably my favorite story, especially thanks to the chemistry between W. Malajkat and J. Wróblewska); a dysfunctional family that grows together in the end.
Everything is wrapped up with sweet humour, clichés and other tropes typical to Christmas movies. And I, as a central-European, also felt closer to the film's setting and style which differs from how Christmas movies are done in the Western cinematography.
Listy do M. Is very nice and Poles can be proud of themselves.
