I have followed the author of the book this film was based on for 10 years and I love Ruth's writing. This is a fun, light holiday story. It reminds me of my uncle who loved Christmas and was our Santa Clause. He took great pride and time in preparing for Christmas and made decorations all year. This story takes the love of Christmas, charity and the trouble of a reality TV series throwing in a love story. I hope some day Ruth's more serious books will also be adapted to screen, my favorites being Animate Me and Work of Art. <3
I've been waiting 10 years for this! 10 years! And it was so exciting to see my favorite book reflected on screen. Tosca has taken SR's book and included every important detail from this first part! The intro was beautiful with the perfectly matched music and art from the book paired. The sets matched perfectly, and Julia and Gabriel were represented so well by the Actors. I want to keep this review spoiler free, but I can tell you as a long time reader and fan of SR's writing, they all did a wonderful job working with the budget they had. I was pleasantly surprised and this has been the best Passionflix release I have seen thus far! Thank You all! Iris-Elli Muse, fan, Slore, Argyle Empire, elliedgasmswoon.
Edited post Part 2! Love the continuation if the story, her pajamas, the music including another Matthew Barber song, the chemistry between Guilio and Melanie, and All the "Kiss me A lot!" Moments! Sales of Pj's and purple towels rise everywhere. ;-) The seminar, the lecture, the dinner and the Museum, all done to perfection! Looking forward to the 3rd and final part of GI and then on to Gabriel's Rapture! Praying filming can safely resume in this Covid-19 era.
