Season's Greetings

About This Movie

So, Season's Greetings is this intriguing little piece from John Dorr that feels almost intimate, like getting a peek into someone’s personal holiday memories. It’s shot with this home-video quality that makes it feel very raw, very genuine. You can sense the nostalgia just oozing from it, even if the pacing is a bit uneven at times. Dorr's style kind of blends the mundane with personal storytelling, which makes it distinctive. The performances aren’t big or flashy, but they resonate on a different level, capturing that holiday warmth, mixed with a hint of bittersweetness. It’s not just about Christmas, it’s about connection, and that simplicity really strikes a chord.

Season's Greetings has seen limited releases over the years, primarily in smaller indie circles and among collectors of obscure holiday films. The VHS copies are particularly hard to come by, often traded among enthusiasts who appreciate Dorr's unique voice in this genre. Its scarcity and the personal nature of the film have fostered a niche interest, making it an interesting piece for those who delve into the more eclectic side of holiday cinema.
