Why we’d put this one on
A tender one for when you want feelings over fizz. After losing her mother, a grieving six-year-old girl goes quiet and stops speaking, leaving her three uncles to figure out how to care for her together. Sean Faris and Eloise Mumford head a cast built around that fragile, found-family center. With a 7.1 rating it clearly connected, leaning on warmth and patience rather than big set pieces. If you like a Christmas story that earns its tears honestly, with a child at the heart of it, this is a lovely, gentle pick.
