Starring Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis, the film tackles universal themes of love, family and self-acceptance, while immersing viewers in the warmth of the holiday season.
The story follows Abby, played by Kristen Stewart, who plans to propose to her girlfriend Harper (played by Mackenzie Davis) at Christmas dinner at the latter's parents' house. But things get complicated when Abby discovers that Harper hasn't yet come out to her conservative family. This mix of misunderstanding, humor and emotion makes for a touching comedy about tolerance and courage.
Ma belle-famille, Noël et moi will be available on Netflix from February 21, 2025.
Synopsis: A young woman wants to propose to her girlfriend at Christmas dinner, but her plans are turned upside down when she discovers that her partner hasn't come out to her conservative parents.
My In-laws, Christmas and Me is aimed primarily at fans of romantic comedies, but also at those who appreciate modern, inclusive Christmas films. This film revisits the codes of festive romances by placing a love story between two women at the heart of the plot, while dealing with issues such as coming-out and family pressure with humor and sincerity.
With convincing performances from Kristen Stewart, who brings a touch of vulnerability and tenderness to her character, and Mackenzie Davis, the film alternates between funny moments, family misunderstandings and moving sequences. Audiences who have enjoyed films such as Love Actually or Coup de foudre à Notting Hill should be won over by this charming romantic comedy.
On the other hand, those looking for an exclusively light-hearted film or one devoid of reflection on social issues may find the coming-out drama less suited to their expectations.
The cast also includes memorable supporting roles, such as Mary Steenburgen and Victor Garber as Harper's parents, and Aubrey Plaza, who adds a fresh touch as Riley, Harper's former girlfriend.
With its blend of humor, emotion and romance, My In-laws, Christmas and Me is an ideal romantic comedy for fans of modern, inclusive Christmas films.
