Charming adaptation of the well known children’s Christmas story. A grieving and reclusive woodcarver (Berenger) agrees to replace a loved wooden nativity that has been lost. Surprisingly, this well written film managed to remain true to the original book, a feat not always achieved, especially when so much must be added in order to reach the time frame of a movie. Performances were excellent by the entire cast but especially the three central characters. Filming was exceptional with rich colors and lighting that enhanced the emotions portrayed. Wonderful musical score! This is definitely a new Christmas favorite that will be watched many times.****
