Daniel Brühl was born to wear fur coats and fur coats only that’s all I know
this is actually one of the most heartwarming Christmas movies out there, why isn't anyone talking about it? Daniel Brühl is in it, so that's already a big bonus anddd its anti-war message works just great...
but that kiss was super weird.
Our music teacher made us watch this, it was so touching and emotional.
This is one of those rare occasions where the film it’s self isn’t amazing, I mean it’s good, but what’s happening on screen is just so hard to not enjoy. I was pretty familiar with the story of this before every hearing about the movie, I really enjoyed the story. This was pretty high up on my watchlist and a buddy of mine just recommended it so I figured I’d check it out, and I’m glad I did.
What takes place on screen is genuinely moving. The way the Scots, the Germans and France all come together is amazing. It’s has some really great moments and by the end I was blown away. This is one of the best Christmas movies.

Centered around a WWI trench standoff between the French, Scottish and German troupes, the story takes place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and ties together several story lines:
* A famous German…
I appreciated Joyeux Noël a lot more this time around, perhaps because I shared it with my mom. She actually suggested we watch it after I had mentioned it to her in the past, assuming she’d enjoy it due to its Christmas theme. We ended up having a pretty rough Christmas Day this year—things took a turn for the worse at dinner, but I won’t get into that. Watching the film together felt like a good way to salvage part of the day.
Joyeux Noël is a compelling and impactful film. It dramatizes the real-life Christmas truce of 1914 during World War I, where soldiers from opposing sides put down their weapons, sang carols, and exchanged small gifts. The film…
