What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Toni Erdmann, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Christmas Tale is

Here's a family get-together that promises to be as fun as possible. Junie Vuillard is sick, so her bickering relatives assemble at her house for the holidays. The familial resentments resurface, as expected. At least everyone got a free trip home, of sorts.
