Leave your thoughts about A Christmas Story.
| The Tyee (British Columbia)Dorothy WoodendKids and guns, you can't go wrong with that combination. It adds up to a film that is sweet and sappy, yet still entertaining. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesShepherd provides the voice-over of the grown hero narrating, and his prominence on the sound track forces Clark to focus on visual humor, resulting in some wild Our Gang-style slapstick. |
| Creative LoafingMatt Brunson[It has] emerged over the past two decades as second only to It's a Wonderful Life as the definitive Christmas flick. |
| eFilmCritic.comGreg MuskewitzMaybe the best Christmas movie ever made! |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashA Christmas Story's message is aimed at children and at the child in all of us for whom the Spirit of Christmas is alive and well. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrBest of all, it's just a story of a kid's Christmas. There is no big spiritual redemption, no one has to learn a lesson. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe affection audiences feel for A Christmas Story is related to the holiday spirit, yes, but specifically to Clark and Shepherd's awareness of how the true meaning of Christmas manifests in the real world, where a warm meal on a cold, dark day—and a surprising moment of parental grace—can ease a troubled mind. |
| PatheosEve TushnetJust a tour de force of holiday agony, outrageous and hilarious. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...sharp, insightful observations, a careful attention to period detail, and, most of all, a gentle good humor. |
| Movie ViewsRyan CracknellNever fails to take me back to a place of welcomed innocence yet it doesn't make me wish I were back there. |
