Deep in the heart of the English countryside lies the enchanting village of Gladbury. Legend has it every twenty-five years an angel visits the village candlemaker and touches a single candle. Whoever lights this candle and prays before it receives a miracle on Christmas Eve, but in 1890, at the dawn of the electric age, this centuries old legend may come to an end. When David Richmond, a progressive young minister, arrives in Gladbury, the villagers discover a new formula for miracles: good deeds and acts of kindness. While David's quest to modernize Gladbury sets him at odds with the old world candlemaker, he finds an unlikely ally in the lovely skeptic, Emily Barstow. Now, the fiery candlemaker must fight to preserve the legacy of the Christmas Candle, but when the blessed candle goes missing, the miraculous and human collide in the most astonishing Christmas the village of Gladbury has ever seen.
Leave your thoughts about The Christmas Candle.
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThe Christmas Candle is both a nice holiday tale and a touching mediation on the value of using one's faith to create everyday miracles. |
| Common Sense MediaBarbara ShulgasserMagic and faith blend in story of good works and miracles. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyI just don't see it becoming popular among the masses. And that's despite containing a positive message, handsome production values, and decent acting (aside from one bit of "stunt casting"). (Full Content Review for Parents also available) |
| Christianity TodayKenneth R. MorefieldIn both plot and theology, it is on the side of tradition, but Richmond's antagonism is not treated as a character defect. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperSweet film about Christmas miracles but a little slow at the start - and neither Susan Boyle nor Samantha Barks has a big musical number. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMary HoulihanDespite some fine production values, lovely photography and smart casting of a range of British stage and screen actors, The Christmas Candle can’t quite move beyond the weary metaphors. It has the feel of a slick television movie. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiThe Christmas Candle" seems destined to be a Hallmark movie of the week. But in spite of the hammy histrionics requisite for the genre, it is not at all a turkey. |
| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerMuddled, emotionally sterile and lacking mysticism, mystery and magic, it's not even remotely comparable to traditional Christmas classics. |
| Washington PostStephanie MerryIt’s hard to imagine this tale of tradition and miracles leading skeptics to contemplation, much less faith. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreLush production values and a solid cast are undone by slack pacing and a limp noodle of a script. |
