Tyler Taormina's freewheeling festive comedy about an eccentric Italian American family gathering is a rich and nostalgic Christmas movie gift.

Gathering for what could be the last Christmas in their ancestral home, four generations of the Balsano family intertwine, as tensions boil and relatives reconnect. Taormina’s camera glides between the family members following no solid narrative; exploring the family web through the eyes of overexcited children, rebellious teenagers and bickering adults. At once charming and uncomfortable, Taormina masterfully captures the feelings of anticipation and disappointment of the festive season. With an ensemble cast of indie darlings including Michael Cera and Francesca Scorcese, this debut is a rich and nostalgic gift and a love letter to American suburbia. 

"Generously mixing comedy, nostalgia, pathos and misanthropy, Christmas Eve In Miller’s Point embraces its brood’s rambunctious spirit" - Tim Grierson, Screen International
