Happy Christmas
First screened in July 2014
Director: Joe Swanberg. Cast: Anna Kendrick, Joe Swanberg, Melanie Lynskey, Mark Webber, Jude Swanberg, Lena Dunham, Kris Swanberg, Megan Mercier, Chris Renton. Screenplay: Joe Swanberg.

Twitter Capsule: Lovely miniature. Good on listless sister, wonderful on wistful mom pristinely presented by Lynskey. More, please.

VOR:   Not really a pathbreaker, though portrait of a baby-focused household is more convincing than most. Swanberg keeps making solid case for local microcinema, even as he grows more renowned.
