  Review by Ale ★★★½

  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.

  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…

  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.

  Review by Slappy McGee ★★★★★ 1

  "Tonight, these men were drawn to that altar like it was a fire in the middle of winter. Even those who aren't devout came to warm themselves."

  Wow. This movie CRUSHED me.

  Yeah, I guess it could be considered a bit melodramatic, but I didn't feel that AT ALL. I was truly AFFECTED by the message of this film. I was swept away by the sincerity of the presentation of man's human condition. The love of fellowship and community. The desire to connect and give good will.

  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…

  Review by Enfant du Siècle ★★★★ 2

  December 1914, northern France, western front. On Christmas Eve, a group of French, German, and Scottish soldiers agree to a momentary truce amidst the chaos and dehumanization of the war. Joyeux Noël is a plea in favor of peace inspired by real events that seem incredibly implausible from a distance, but which are evidence of the good that persists within the human being even in the worst circumstances. The actions of those who risked their lives can be seen as a powerful protest against the irrationality of a war so absurd and cruel that it proved incomprehensible to the ordinary citizen who had lived through the Belle Époque. This is an engaging work that exalts values such as friendship, tolerance, compassion, mutual understanding, and peace. I can understand that some may find it exaggerated, unrealistic, and even a bit sentimental, but it moved me with its anti-war message and call for unity.
