A charming film that never strays into sentimentality

Rating: 9/10 (18 April 2016)

Is this a brilliant Christmas film? I think it is. It's a Wonderful Life is a powerful film about a man who becomes disillusioned with life and considers taking his own life. However, Death appears before him and shows what life would be like if he were never born. SPOILER At the end of the film, the man's community rallies behind him and gives him the hope to continue living.
This is where the film is its most heart-warming. It ends with everyone singing together and this moment isn't cheesy or overly- sentimental, but rather powerful and charming. It showcases how powerful people can be if they put their differences aside and work together for the greater good.
