10/10
A psychological horror that will keep you guessing
16 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Two old college friends are trapped in a twisted game of envy and deception. Jackie (played by Brandy Norwood) is a ruthless and manipulative woman who writes a yearly newsletter to taunt her friends with her achievements and happiness. Charlotte (played by Heather Graham) is a desperate and unhappy woman who feels tormented and inferior by Jackie's perfect life. When Charlotte accidentally ends up at Jackie's house on Christmas Eve, she decides to stay and expose Jackie's life as a lie. However, as they spend time together, they discover that they have more secrets than they thought. What does charlottes husband have to hide and can he manipulate her through shaming her for her anxieties and own self doubt enough to get what he wants?

The movie has so many unexpected twists and turns I was genuinely up all night afterwards still trying to figure out the implications of what I had just witnessed.

Like how did that bearded man disappear?

And the dollhouse.... If youve seen hereditary you'll know what I mean.

I don't want to spoil anything.

How they managed to convince the censors to only give it a pg rating is a mystery to me.

Best Christmas ever is a brilliant take on the evengelical Christian belief of positive thoughts creating wealth and prosperity.. if you have faith like Brandy.

Bless us everyone.
