Twelve Films At Christmas - 1

The Guardian labelled it possibly the worst film of 2019 but did find space, ridiculously, to praise the film's clumsy Brexit bashing. The film in question is Last Christmas, co-written by the highly estimable Emma Thompson. It aims to achieve the exploitative heart-stealing stunt of Love Actually. It fails. The central performances are too sickly-sweet to bear and the plot twist is telegraphed. Worst film of the year? Doubtful but will I watch it again (even at Christmas)? No. 51/100.
