Right on the Hallmark median
Best reviewed
Rich Newey works behind the camera, not in front of it, and across seven films between 2017 and 2022 he settled into a comfortable Hallmark groove: small towns, often in winter. Four of his seven are Christmas pictures, so he knows his way around a snowy main street and a string of fairy lights. His best-reviewed is Ghosts of Christmas Always from 2022, which lands at 7.4 and edges out Crashing Through the Snow and One Summer, both 2021 and both sitting at 7.1. The average across everything is a steady 6.7, which feels about right for a director who plays it fairly straight rather than chasing anything strange. If you like your holiday Hallmark warm and familiar, Newey has quietly shaped a few of those nights.
