The Package

About This Movie

So, 'The Package' (2020) directed by Louise Alston is an interesting take on the holiday romance genre. You’ve got Jules, who's really having a rough Christmas week, right? It's not just about the romantic elements but also the awkward and unexpected moments that occur when she finds herself trapped in an elevator with a stranger. The chemistry between the leads is quite charming, making those scenes feel genuine despite the somewhat contrived scenario. The pacing has that typical rom-com rhythm, but the miscommunication element keeps it engaging. It dives into themes of loneliness and chance encounters, which feels relatable during the festive chaos. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the narrative well. Overall, it's a cozy watch, if you're into that sort of mood.
