‘Happiest Season': Blissfully Melancholic Queer Rom-Com is Easy to Digest [Capsule]

November 21, 2020 Jordan Ruimy

Clea DuVall’s “Happiest Season” can be viewed as a radical holiday movie, in that it uses, hell mimics, the innumerable heterosexual Christmas movie cliches that came before it, but forges them through the lenses of a queer perspective.
