Nutcrackers (2024)


After his estranged sister dies, a man temporarily takes custody of her four feral children, attempting to curb their unruly ways all the while trying to find them a permanent home. I'll give you two guesses as to how it all ends. Despite the predictability of the plot, there is something strangely irresistible and charming about the raw, low-key nature of the film and its performances, as long as you're feeling in a generous mood. The kids here weirdly reminded me of the Herdmans from that other Christmas movie.
