This is a fairly straightforward telling of the Facebook founder’s story, that is apparently vaguely accurate. David Fincher is a master class unto himself on how to make boring things interesting.
Closest comparison: It’s like The Founder by way of American Animals.
Setting: Coming of Age
Plot: Docudrama
Tone: Drama
This is a solid re-imagining of the origins of Santa Claus. It’s pleasant and funny without being obnoxious (for the most part), though there is an overbearing anti-tradition subnarrative that’s shoehorned in. Apart from that there’s a lot to like: alternate explanations of Santa lore, endearing characters with growth, and gorgeous animation. It’s bound to become a classic in some households, but in any event it’s worth a watch.
Closest comparison: It’s like Frozen by way of The Emperor’s New Groove.
Setting: Adventure
Plot: Rich Jerk Get a Heart
Tone: Family Comedy
