Merry Liddle Christmas (2019)
It's Mid
This film challenges tired stereotypes about successful women needing the whole family package. The Liddle family, a stereotypical Black Christian family, falls into the trap of perpetuating outdated beliefs. It explores why people cut ties with their families, highlighting messy dynamics. The judgmental attitude towards Jacquie's traditions and Ava's rude question about her "real" family add discomfort. Despite mediocre writing and subpar acting, standout performances include Debbie Morgan as the passive-aggressive grandmother and Bresha Webb as the responsibility-dodging sister, Kiara. They eventually apologize for being themselves but it's short-lived. The theme of the family ignoring Jacquie's boundaries justifies her distancing. I've seen this movie twice. One was against my will while getting my hair braided and the other time was today because I let Hulu autoplay.
