I was especially touched by a scene in which the Graingers make one little girl's Christmas. I was so moved. Once you get past the film's rough edges, you'll find a charming little movie. The cast is uniformly excellent, especially Steenburgen, who makes you believe Ginny's plight. This film really is magic.
Image quality is sharp, with excellent attention to detail.
Colors are warm with excellent saturation that displays no bleeding or fading. Depth of field is pretty decent considering that most of the film takes place in the snow. No visible compression artifacts or noise. Don't expect it to kick your system's ass, but you will be pleased with the subtlety of the surround and stereo effects. Dialogue mix is strong, while the stereo effects are generous without being obvious.
