Merry Good Enough (2023)


Every year, I search for the ultimate anti-Christmas movie and my hopes are always dashed. Aside from horror, there are always happy endings, and even the most subversive films seem to embrace the holiday spirit by the end.
After feeling unappreciated by her dysfunctional family, the mother to three grown children disappears on Christmas. There's a lot of dark potential to mine in this indie dramedy, but it never quite goes far enough. Close, but no cigar.
