Tiago’s review published on Letterboxd:
"No man is a failure who has friends."
A fairytale of kindness, compassion, empathy, love, family, friendship, companionship—what Christmas is all about. And It's a Wonderful Life is the definitive Christmas movie. A cozy and warm story about one man coming to appreciate what he has. His journey is emotional and moving, with a clever touch of fantasy by the end. The conclusion is deeply beautiful, enough for you to shed tears of happiness, or to put a huge smile on your face. The film looks absolutely gorgeous in 4k, with its black and white images and 'old movie acting' evoking strong feelings of nostalgia for a distant past. So charming, so sincere, so genuine, so optimistic, so hopeful, so uplifting—that's It's a Wonderful Life in a nutshell for you.
It's simply the perfect Christmas classic, it's pure movie magic, it's a timeless masterpiece. This is cinema. Always remember that no matter how hard life gets, there will always be someone who cares for you, who needs you or will need you in the future. Do not take things for granted. Cherish every little success. Because this is a wonderful life indeed. And just by existing, you have impacted more lives than you could ever know.
🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄
