Christmas Eve in Miller's Point tells the story of a family who have a get-together on Christmas Eve at the family home & it could be their last holiday there. As the night goes on, arguments abound among different generations of the family. Meanwhile, one of the teenagers sneaks out, to paint the town red with her friends.Christmas Eve in Miller's Point is just an average film.

Matilda Fleming is fantastic as Emily

Director Tyler Taormina has given us a movie with a meandering story that doesn't really go anywhere, even when the credits roll. The scenes with the adults are pointless & are incredibly boring. The scenes with the teenagers are fun & are the saving grace of the film.

Maria Dizzia is awesome as Kathleen

Francesca Scorsese is great as Michelle. Elsie Fisher is brilliant as Lynn. Michael Cera & Greg Turkington are hilarious as Officer Gibson & Sergeant Brooks, respectively.

The supporting cast is effective

Christmas Eve in Miller's Point is not a must watch. Watch it if you're having a Christmas movie marathon & don't mind having an average movie in the mix.
