Christmas As Usual

About This Movie

Christmas As Usual is this interesting blend of cultures wrapped up in a holiday setting. The tonal shifts between comedy and drama are handled in a way that feels authentic. You’ve got Thea and Jashan navigating not just their engagement, but the chaos of merging Norwegian and Indian traditions. There’s a certain warmth to the performances that keeps it engaging, though it does lean into some familiar holiday tropes. The pacing sometimes feels a bit uneven, but that actually mirrors the hectic nature of the holidays, doesn’t it? Practical effects and set designs contribute nicely to the festive atmosphere, making it visually appealing. It's definitely distinctive in the way it explores cultural clashes, but also the love story that unfolds amid it all.
