Happiest Season
Sooner or later, someone was going to make a gay Christmas movie. The year 2020 gives us
Happiest Season, which had the good fortune to wrap up shooting just before the pandemic hit North America.
A young woman, Abby (Kristen Stewart) has been invited to spend Christmas with her girlfriend, Harper (Mackenzie Davis)'s family. She hopes to propose over the holiday season. While they're gone, the apartment and their various pets have been left to her wisecracking best friend, John (Dan Levy-- Eugene's kid). The chemistry between Stewart and Levy, in particular, shines. I believed in their friendship. Even their ideologically-laden arguments over same-sex marriage have charm. She embraces the concept; he thinks it's selling out to heternormative standards.
