“Inspired Dialogues”

For Guicine it is “Quite an exciting film with largely inspired and venomous dialogues. All the actors carry their characters perfectly, and the parade of equally rough scenes delights us. Let’s see if I will have a very pleasant time.”

Paul B points out that it is“A hilarious comedy that dares to tackle some very slippery subjects and warms your heart whether you like Christmas or not.”

According to Fred M, it is:Treatment! Not a Christmas movie, but a really nice comedy about presents. We laugh, we identify, because after all, gifts say a lot about our relationship with others! The best actors and really funny scenes, special mention to the song of the ocean! A real super surprise!”

For Shawn777 from Club Allociné, “Quite a pleasant surprise! However, the movie starts off pretty bad, like a very bad “Christmas Balls”, ie with the psychologist, the plot takes time to set up, everything is a bit laborious, especially since we are in an ensemble movie. And certain situations are tweezers integrated into the plot. Indeed, certain gags or even certain scenes come off like hairs in a soup or just don’t serve much of a purpose other than boosting the film’s “comprehensibility” gauge.

But at the end of the day, we’re not really acting in an outward-looking movie. No, we are in a good, very wordy French comedy whose humor relies primarily on dialogue. So it’s not Audiard, but at least we never fall into a bit of heavy humor. So while ‘The Present’ isn’t the comedy of the year, it does provide a good bit of entertainment while making the end-of-year holiday season a little longer.”

“uneven writing”

Cinemadourg rates the film 2.5 and writes: “A gift, but above all a truth to be revealed! This ensemble film works as a series of mini-sketches, in which we observe members of the same family in the days leading up to the big Christmas gathering. Each character with their own neuroses and his. Little oddities, caught in situations that range from comic to tragic. The whole thing, while corrosive (hello, dark humor lovers!), suffers Irregular rhythm and uneven writing.

For Sebastian P, it’s “A confused film with a lack of conviction. Only Gringje stands out from the crowd in this comedy with a very promising cast.Merlin Hamush, on the other hand, writes: “I was bored, a banal film and passages that dragged on. Disappointed.”

at the end, gifts It is appreciated for its caustic dialogue and humor, although some viewers find it uneven. The lack of narrative structure is also noticeable for this Christmas comedy currently available in theaters.
