Holiday Story

About This Movie

Holiday Story, directed by Rozan Muttaqin, captures the bittersweet essence of childhood and memory. It’s really a simple setup—Ria, a young girl, tasked with writing about a holiday, ends up reflecting on her relationship with her mom instead. The film has this gentle pacing that lets you linger in those small moments that matter. The performances feel genuine, especially from the lead, who brings a kind of sweetness and vulnerability to her role. There’s a nice use of practical effects here that complements the emotional beats; nothing flashy, just real life. It’s this quiet exploration of familial bonds and the nostalgia that accompanies them that makes it stand out. Not a typical family drama, more like a slice of life that feels lived-in.

Focuses on emotional storytelling over spectacle.Strong character-driven narrative.Captures childhood innocence and nostalgia.
