Lost at Christmas
Lost at Christmas is a small scale Scottish film. An antidote to the schmaltzy Hallmark films from the USA.
This bittersweet film is as cold as the Scottish weather in December. I know I have spent the Christmas period a few times up in Scotland over the years.
Bubbly Jen (Natalie Clark) has gone to a small highland town to see her long term boyfriend only to discover he is married.
Meanwhile Rob (Kenny Boyle) has proposed to his girlfriend and has been turned down. What hurt the most is being told, she doesn't love him.
Both Jen and Ron meet at the train station but heavy snow means that all trains are cancelled. Wanting to get back to Glasgow on Christmas Eve is no easy task.
Jen gets hold of a car but needs to stop at an inn because of the worsening weather. Only the residents of the inn are not in the festive mood.
This low budget film has a strong Doctor Who connection. Sylvester McCoy, Frazer Hines, Caitlin Blackwood all appear.
I found the movie tries too hard to be unsentimental and realistic. You end up not caring too much about the love story part when too many people are morose.
The character of Rob is hard to like although he thaws later on. I was more impressed with Natalie Clark as Jen.
Lost at Christmas needed a sprinkling of fairy dust to brighten it up.
