Scot Scurlock delivers an outstanding performance as the eccentric nomad. His no-nonsense outlook is captivating to watch. Tatum Matthews’s portrayal as the homeless girl deserves high praise – a confident young actress with promising talent. Visually, cinematography and lighting are captured with fine quality and with a professional finish. Editing, sound and music are equally on top-form. The narrative, particularly the tragic conclusion, is far from what an audience would expect from a Christmas movie – this may leave the viewer feeling less than merry. An endearing film, albeit heart-breaking. Highly recommended.
