Easy to watch with expected positive outcome

If you have high expectations, you are wrong here. If you want an easy going lesbian-themed movie with a happy ending (or three in this case), then this one is for you. Yes, ok, acting is sometimes slightly on the lower end. But then again, who can really act these days AND is prepared to take part in a lesbian movie (well, Barbara Niven being the recent exception to this rule - sadly the audio of the DVD version was utterly appalling).

so, if you are looking for easy lesbian entertainment, go for it

Milestone in Queer TV History
jasminhegmann1 December 2019
Okay I am happy to be the first to rate this masterpiece. Since I already am a fan of Dominique as well as Jessica, I was more than happy to support this project. And since big networks don't seem to produce the content our community needs, or at least only up to a certain point.. I am all for indie movies supported/sponsored - from the fans, for the fans - like for example the Carmilla Movie.

Regarding the movie, which is a holiday movie (and the first queer one), it's cute, it's funny, it's charming.. it's everything you are looking for. It will make your gay/queer/straight/whatever heart warm and fuzzy.. and isn't this what it's all about?

I also want to add how greatful I am to be part of this amazingly kind, supportive community.. we ARE the change.

And thank you to the Season of Love-Team for this amazing movie and for the next big milestone in queer tv history!!

Beyond Cringe
fretty-5917027 January 2020
I really wanted this movie to be good because I'm starved for quality queer content, but holy crap this was even worse than your average bad queer film. The acting was so cringe I had to turn it off. I can't believe it's rated over 5/10 on here. Shooketh to the core.

Diverse, meaningful, and uplifting

The queer holiday film we've all been waiting for. A fantastic cast and a heart-warming storyline... what more could you ask for?

Below average acting and writing, not a good movie overall
sharisamad29 June 2020

I had high hopes with this movie. Some viewers here have the movie a 10? A smaller budget movie such as Carmilla is still so much better than this.

The writing was not great. For example, why would you ask the crying jilted bride what does she wants to do with the food as it is no longer 'refundable'. Just do not put this kind of conversation in the movie!!

The only actors who could act are Dominique and the one playing Iris. The rests is hard to watch. Even the kissing scenes involving them are hard to watch. Clark is far too tall for her match. Casting is weak here.

It's just a terrible movie. I regret buying the movie. I should've just rented it as I won't be watching it again and again.

Beautiful Representation, Funny, worth several re watches
whodatqueen106 December 2019
Loved every second of this movie, Purchased it and downloaded after seeing a you tube review and I have watched 4 times all the way through. Finally good to see representation for the queer community in a holiday movie. Loved it would recommend 10/10

Wanted to love it.
sagetwo15 December 2020
I watched it because I was interested to watch my first Lesbian Christmas movie. And I have a not so little crush on Dominique from Wynonna Earp. Well, the pace of the movie was slow and the chemistry between the female characters were lacking. All in all, I wanted to love the movie. But I can't.

5 for the effort
tellesestella20 August 2020
I don't wanna be too harsh here. At least, they made an effort to make a new queer movie. It's not to bad. I love Emily Goss and I think she deserves better than this. I got so bored, the acting is so are bad, the dialogues are poor. It was hard to watch at times. Anyway, some people may like it. Not for me. I skipped most of it.

Heart Tugging Romance
torresallison-1397712 October 2020
This film is such a feel good movie, one where you can snuggle in a cozy blanket on the couch and enjoy the struggle and beauty of love through the lives of these gorgeous women! Dominique did a fantastic job as per usual and it was so great seeing her use her talent of singing in her acting career. Cute storyline and awesome cinematography.

SKIP WATCHING THIS HORRIBLE MOVIE
astral-664037 September 2020
Just don't watch. This movie isn't worth watching. Believe me, it's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. I really expected more with a whole thin white cast (I really didn't) and even that low bar wasn't even met. The movie had too many story lines, that the characters were barely fleshed out. The characters weren't memorable, I didn't understand what their desires or conflicts were. The acting is sub-par and poor. The plots are thinly veiled and weak, with the only saving grace being the story line featuring ASL and the queers who are deaf. They should focused on them. Also, every single romance movie struggles with consent- who tries to kiss people who just got left at the altar without asking if that was okay? The romance was pushed and the chemistry between all the characters so, so poor. A lot of people were watching for Dom- but this isn't her best work. People are only watching for her star power, but like, she was barely watchable in this movie.

Do yourself a favour and don't include this movie in any of your lists. Queer women holiday movies aren't a mainstay any time soon.

Too cute

I think it was about time we have a Christmas romcom with powerful queer ladies. Nice and easy, a lovely movie. Kenna is my favorite, she's hilarious. The chemistry between Mardou and Iris is beautiful to watch.

Keep your expectations low
tatjanakueth11 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
With great reviews and a website hailing it as The lesbian Love Actually we went in with equally great expectations! 5 seconds into the movie it was clear, we were watching another low budget, badly written, badly produced, badly acted lesbian rom-com. The issue is, by now we know how great LGBTQ+ movies can be if Netflix or Hulu get behind them (The Happiest Season, Single All the Way). Cringeworthy dialogues, shaky camera handling, terrible editing and acting that is just a smidge above daytime scripted-reality shows is what you had to contend yourself with if you watch this movie. The three story-lines are simple and predictable and while I so wanted to like the movie, it was literally only the story of Mardou and Iris that managed to make me go ok, that was kinda cute. This movie will not make it onto my annual Christmas movie list, sadly.

Nice, heartwarming break!
Diabolique6910 June 2023
Although having seen it out of season, I recommend this movie for those who want to have a carefree screening! Definitely not for cinephiles. Of course it's not an equivalent of Love Actually, but for such a low budget you can give it a try. Emily Goss is very classy and Laur Allen is convincing; my favourite build-up story!

The thing with all these low budget US movies is the make-up & styling. As a lover of European cinematography I honestly can't see the point of having all this make-up in every single scene. That's not realistic at all!

There are some comments here about poor acting. I think the script is weak but the actresses did their best to lift this movie up.
