If you’re a parent, you’ll watch the dinner scene with Kevin and the old man (the neighbor with the shovel) in a completely new light. It’s not just about the heartwarming dialogue; it’s a masterclass in emotional storytelling. The orchestra swells so beautifully during that moment that you might need to dab your eye.
The Hall adds a warm, golden glow to that scene that your TV at home simply cannot replicate. It’s the closest we get to finding a little soul in a blockbuster holiday movie.
