That Time of Year (2018)

Katrine and her husband, Mads are once again expected to host Christmas. The morning of Christmas Eve sees Mads making an early start on the cooking and Katrine trying to ensure that everything in the house is ready while she manages the non-stop calls from demanding family members. Amongst those who are going to make the day difficult are Katrine's divorced parents, her priestess sister with her pretentious husband, and their spoiled son. Eventually, everyone having arrived, festivities begin in fits and starts with the usual small talk and eating and drinking, all marital and other difficulties carefully hidden. But, with sufficient barbs and snipes, the long-held angers and resentments bubbling away under the surface begin to seep through the veneer of politeness and bonhomie. And when the black sheep of the family makes an unexpected appearance, the veneer cracks wide open to reveal some uncomfortable truths.
