Whilst I understand this won’t be everyone’s idea of a Christmas movie, indeed it wasn’t mine until I watched it, but “Words on Bathroom walls” is a really interesting and enlightening coming-of -age romantic drama. It revolves around a teenager suffering from schizophrenia who struggles to come to terms with his disorder.
It was on BBC I player but you might have to pay for it now.
Well worth a watch
Review...
"Never mind cinematography. Never mind budget. Never mind acting. My teenage son with mental illness asked me to watch this, so I did. Afterwards I asked him .."is this you?" and he said yes.
So take this review any way you want. According to a 16 yo with mental illness, it is an accurate portrayal of his every day struggle to fit into this world"

Re: Movie Night
It was the classic Alister Sim ‘A Christmas Carol’ - Scrooge for us. Seen it many times but it has to be done.
