Christmas Angel is a film that showcases exactly how problematic an individual’s daily life can be. With everything going wrong to a degree, Ashley (Kari Hawker) gets a major dash to eir day when ey realizes that the job that ey applied for has already been filled. Nick (Bruce Davison) is Ashley’s neighbor, and has dedicated eir life to providing warmth and happiness to everyone that ey meets. The two main characters are able to get a working arrangement together and ultimately find happiness in their work and in each other. Christmas Angel thus is a film that shows the beauty of humanity, even when everyday life threatens to beat them down.
This story is all the more compelling due to the up and coming actors that comprise the cast. The video and audio quality of this Candlelight Media video is sharp, and the directors have been able to come forth with the perfect blend of human and compelling story. While the title may say Christmas Angel, I feel that the film has more than enough legs to be watched at different points during the year.
Rating: 8.2/10
