Very grounded and inspiring. An incredible film in every way.

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2018)

"It's a Wonderful Life" is one of the few films I have seen in which I can hardly think of a single flaw. It has it all: humor, substance, great performances, great direction. George Bailey, portrayed by the one and only James Stewart, is one of the greatest protagonists of all time. He is likable, relatable, and extremely well-developed. The film is very slow-moving, allowing the audience to really get to know this character and his motivations. On top of this, the film has a very important, inspiring message, and it also explores interesting themes involving individualism vs collectivism. The film is considered a Christmas classic, and while this is true, its messages can be applied to every moment in our lives. This film should never be forgotten.
