A Christmas film without sugary sentiment


It was both funny and moving. Any sad bits were balanced by the humour so the film never became maudlin. Peter Mullan and the entire cast were superb. Hector was a fully-rounded human being who, though troubled, was kind and honorable. I felt that all the other people in the film had their own stories even though the audience may never learn what they are in depth. The film was a refreshing change from the usual diet of Christmas schmaltz.
