Christmas Tale, A

A long-winded, artsy, convoluted, well-acted French film in which a beautiful, cancer-afflictedf French matriarch (Catherine Deneuve) seeks the support of her longtime devoted husband (Jean-Paul Roussillon) as she gathers her dysfunctional, estranged grownup children (Mathieu Amalric, Anne Consigny, and Melvil Poupaud) and the extended family (Hippolyte Girardot, Emmanuelle Devos, Chiara Mastroianni, Laurent Capelluto, Emile Berling, and Thomas and Clément Obled) around her during Christmastime in the hope that one of them will be a suitable bone marrow donor.
