Christmas Encore is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. What makes Christmas Encore work is that the obstacles feel real, not manufactured for the plot. A struggling actress is cast in her last off (off) Broadway show - a modern take on “A Christmas Carol” - before giving up her dream and moving home. Instead, she finds romance with her director and a renewed passion for her craft and the city. But when the historic theater loses its lease and the show is set to fold, she and her cast mates are need of a Christmas miracle. Maggie Lawson and Brennan Elliott lead a cast that makes the relationship feel genuine, not scripted. It was released in 2017. Christmas Encore understands that tension needs a believable reason to exist, not just narrative convenience. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Christmas Encore is the kind of thing you watch without apology. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. The chemistry Maggie Lawson brings to it is the engine that drives everything. A rarer quality than it sounds — earning the romantic beats rather than assuming them.

Christmas Encore was released in 2017, directed by Bradley Walsh. The full 84-minute film is available to watch now.
