Emilia Clarke is such a charming likeable lead and the film ticks over nicely. Great to have so many of George Michael's best songs throughout and Emilia has such a great effortless voice. The story itself is pretty thin, but those who think this trying to be another Love Actually are so far from the mark. This is a Christmas redemption story more akin to A Christmas Carol, but instead of being saved from meaness the main character is saved from wasted chances. It's just sad there are so many bigots with their political agenda rating this so lowly. Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol would be too preachy for them as they sent kids back up chimneys.
