Review of Long Lost Christmas

As an adopted child myself, I related to every minute of this wonderful movie. The back stories of Orphanage and Foster Care were factually realistic and not emotionally exaggerated. Every actor from leads to supporting roles were genuine, and not overly acted at any time. It often appeared as if they were good friends outside of the movie business too. After her father's recent passing, our lead has the best intentions and a sincere desire to make her mother's Christmas meaningful. She discovers an old photo in the attic while looking for ornaments, and is shocked to learn her mother has a brother who she was separated from at their Orphanage. The remainder of the movie deals with her tracking down her "uncle" and also discovering she has a cousin. Keep the tissues handy. Family IS everything.
