Why do people think that just because someone is rich that they don't have problems nor go through difficult situations? It irks me because the rich people have issues just like the rest of us. Anyway, I loved the relationship between the lead character and his grandmother. I hate that they couldn't get ahold of him in time to say goodbye. I hate that he got fired for feeding a homeless man. That bothered me. That was one intense night between him and the socialite. I felt that we didn't get to hear enough of her story. She said that she knew the foster system well but we didn't get a chance to find out why. Was she married? How did he not know she was married? Who was the man that she left with? So many questions.

Special kind of Relationship

What I loved most about this film was the relationship between Michael and Yolanda.
I feel anyone could watch this film, and relate to this relationship whither it be with a parent, grandparent, or with someone you love and respect.
Their conversations draw you in and make you feel connected to their lives.
Leaves you wanting to know more of their background story.

Thought-provoking narrative

This is an incredible film. There were a lot of themes and characters that resonated with me personally given my own upbringing and job experiences. The overall plot and conclusion are refreshingly human. This isn't a film that follows the traditional patterns and tropes of visual storytelling. By the end of it, I was left to think about how the film made me feel, which is the greatest achievement that any film can make.
A movie you can watch any time of the year

Christmas movies often have this feel good connotation to them. Even if they're sad they typically end on a good note. Christmas Eve is different in this respect. The move is moving and uplifting. It makes you feel a certain way throughout but the ending... that's where it gets you in the feels. It's a real ending and that's what I like about it. Overall, the writing is solid and the cinematography really captures the essence of the season. The soundtrack is on another level and super original. Definitely worth watching, especially with all this talk of essential workers and how most people look down on them. I think you'll find some unlikely perspective in this short film.
Unexpected gem

You can't help but feel something. It has you questioning your own life and decisions you've made. The writing is beautiful and the music takes you on a journey throughout the film. Definitely a great watch any time of year!
All year round goodness

Loved watching this! I actually watched it for the first time during the summer time haha, but it was such a great movie to ring in the holidays coming. I loved the bike scenes and it was awesome to see so many iconic shots of New York. Great journey of emotions throughout!
