    Not the strongest entry in the series; the middle section drags on much longer than it needs to, and a lot of the conflict is fairly contrived. But it’s still a gorgeous, immersive film with many great characters, both familiar and new.

    ★★★★

    Really good movie with fun characters and great acting. And above all, thought-provoking. Definitely a movie you’ll want to talk through with friends afterwards. And regardless of where you end up, I think you’ll be better for having processed those thoughts.

    From clips I had seen, I thought I’d like this movie more. A lighthearted zombie film is a fun concept, but I walked away from this one feeling like something was missing. It’s a funny movie that isn’t actually all that funny, a heartfelt movie that isn’t actually very heartfelt… but that said, it’s not bad. 3 twinkies out of 5.

    This instantly became one of my favorite Christmas movies a few years ago when I first saw it, and I think I like it even more each time I see it. It’s a gorgeous movie with a lot of heart and only a few tiny things I could nitpick if I tried.
