Details

Happy Christmas (2014) is a heartwarming indie film about the impact of an irresponsible young woman named Jenny on her brother Jeff's seemingly perfect life in Chicago. Jeff is a young filmmaker living with his novelist wife Kelly and their two-year-old son. When Jenny arrives at their home, her wild and carefree nature disrupts their quiet domesticity.

Jenny befriends Carson, and together they challenge Kelly's life and career choices, pushing her to reevaluate her priorities. As Jenny starts to find her place in the family, she also becomes involved in a complicated relationship with the family's babysitter, who also happens to be a pot dealer.

Throughout the film, Happy Christmas explores themes of family dynamics, personal growth, and the complexities of relationships. While Jenny's arrival shakes up the household, it ultimately allows each character to confront their own desires, needs, and aspirations.

Directed by Joe Swanberg, Happy Christmas offers a fresh take on the traditional family drama genre with its authentic characters and realistic portrayal of everyday life. With a talented ensemble cast including Anna Kendrick, Melanie Lynskey, and Lena Dunham, the film is filled with genuine moments of humor, heartache, and self-discovery. Happy Christmas reminds viewers of the power of connection and the importance of finding happiness in unexpected places.
