. YOU CAN'T REPLACE YOUR FAMILY! Together with her husband Mads and her children Maria and Jens-Peter, the stressed-out Katrine (Paprika Steen) is planning the family's tradition-laden Christmas celebration. This year, everyone is coming; the divorced grandparents who still bicker about everything, the subdued in-laws and the older self-righteous sister, her alcoholic husband and their rowdy son. As the snow falls and Christmas approaches, Katrine's inbox is filled with passive-aggressive messages from all the family members. But this year, at least, it has to be better than last year's disaster, right? THAT TIME OF YEAR , directed by and with Denmark's big star Paprika Steen, is a fast-paced ensemble drama about a dysfunctional family that gathers around the Christmas table, presents and a tree. --- * * * * "Lovely Danish kitchen sink realism" - Svenska Dagbladet * * * * "A must if you want to get over the Christmas blues" - Amelia "Massive Danish actor's party" - Dagens Nyheter "Remarkable acting" - Aftonbladet "A large number of multi-faceted, well-written and well-acted characters. A perfect Christmas film." - Arbetarbladet "A lot of recognition and uncomfortable situations" - Moviezine " Do you love movies where you almost have to bite your hand to keep from screaming at the characters on the screen, or where you have to hold your hands over your face because you're embarrassed on behalf of people? Then you'll love this nightmare for a dinner party.
