Christmas is sad. Yeah...I know.
BrettErikJohnson18 February 2005
Moira Kelly plays a young woman who is obviously upset about something or other. She grabs the keys to her mom's BMW and starts the car up while it is still in the garage. Is she going to kill herself or isn't she? The 14-minute short is shot entirely in black and white as if to lend credibility and solemnity to the importance of the film's topic.

This is another film where we are supposed to care because suicide is so awful and I suppose that's reason enough. No backstory is given. There is no time to get attached to her character. It's Christmas Day and she is contemplating suicide. That's it. Is this supposed to make a compelling short? Well, it didn't work on me. Sorry. 1/10
