Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Kevin Harley

John Bradley (Game of Thrones) brings winning reserves of sad-eyed warmth to this well-cast and gently feel-good comedy drama, a York-set riff on a certain oft-filmed Charles Dickens tale. Bradley plays Aubrey, who lost his seasonal spirit as a child after a tragedy and, as an adult, ardently resists festive fripperies and friendship. But when an accidental run-in with an OAP sees Aubrey arrested and assigned community service, carer Ellen (Sophia Di Martino) ropes him into helping stage a retirement-home production of A Christmas Carol. You can guess where this is going, but Bradley, Di Martino and Kiell Smith-Bynoe (as Aubrey's co-worker) make amiable leads, and they get classy support from Richard E Grant, Adjoa Andoh and a pleasingly flinty Celia Imrie. Making the villain a fat-cat housing developer is a nice touch, while director Jack Spring ensures York looks invitingly seasonal. Light dustings of comedy keep things spry, though the film works best as a measured love letter to community, classic literature and Christmas hugs, packaged with charm.
