Beautiful

This movie, about a tale of a boy from a wealthy family who during his work at the post office steals Christmas gifts from the wealthy to give to the poor people of Stockholm, is a great comedy movie!

It's a well done adaptation of the original story about the protagonist Karl-Bertil Jonsson's Christmas where the fantastic directing by director Hannes Holm easily makes the movie both funny, engaging and heartwarming. The movie also has talented actors who strengthen their characters' storylines, and the technical aspects are surprisingly impressive where especially the cinematography, lighting and production design give the movie a very nice touch, visually. The great score by composer Gaute Storaas sets a beautiful atmosphere that also is the cherry on the top of the cake, and all the elements together make the movie to a very appropriate Christmas experience.

This is a beautifully adapted and well-directed comedy with talented actors and impressive technical aspects. The heartwarming story will make you feel good inside.
