No pun intended - Covid 19! A tough nut to crack ... even for the Christmas nutcracker I suppose! But that pun also aside, the movie is not easy to say the least. It plays like a ... well play! And it may annoy you - not just the fact that the actors talk directly to you (yes fourth wall is missing) .. and those who had to go through the Pandemic ... and survived will feel for the things the couple has to go through.
So many emotions ... so many things that went sideways. Together we can manage things - but we are still alone! And no time like a pandemic makes that clearer ... we only really know ourselves! Sometimes not even that ... but all the issues that may brew underneath come forward. So while I am not sure how some will receive the movie ... I do know that the actors do their very best! Without looking what Bafta this won ... I would be surprised if it didn't have to do with acting ... while this will not solve problems, it is a piece of not just movie but also "normal" history ...
