An amoral dark comedy set during the Christmas season.November 19, 2013
"All is Bright is nothing more than empty threats and bottomless desires haphazardly thrown together around a more interesting event that you never get to see.October 04, 2013
Worth enduring only for a rare lead performance by Paul Giamatti, whose expert delineation of rage and frustration lends form to Morrison's otherwise shapeless script.September 14, 2014
Phil Morrison's direction and choices aren't as bold or as inventive as his styles in Junebug. The story doesn't lend itself to those traits that made him a quiet sensation in the mid-2000s.November 18, 2013
Overall, it's truly as exciting as you'd think watching two people sell Christmas trees would be, even if those two people are Paul Giamatti and Paul Rudd.October 07, 2013
This engaging if somewhat underwhelming tale of unlikely redemption builds a funny-sad web of intersecting interactions around its strong central perfs.November 22, 2013
Morrison films this redemptive story - which has some hard-to-swallow moments - with a dusty gray palette that suits its characters and masquerades the story's more obvious sentimentality.October 08, 2015
"All Is Bright" is reminiscent of those utterly forgettable Canadian movies bankrolled on the government dime in the name of cultural preservation.October 07, 2013
The film is happy to observe wryly as boredom and failure threaten to overwhelm the men.October 07, 2013
You might think you can see where Almost Christmas is heading but it never quite loses its acerbic edge or goes emotionally blooey.October 04, 2013
I wish I could give four stars to Giamatti's big, sad eyes and outrageous Civil War beard.
