A Christmas Story
Directed by Bob Clark
1983
★ 4.8 editorial score
American television runs it for twenty-four straight hours every Christmas: Jean Shepherd narrates his own childhood, and it is honest enough about children to stay genuinely funny.
“The movie is not only about Christmas and BB guns, but also about childhood, and one detail after another rings true...It is pitch-perfect, telling the story through the enthusiastic and single-minded vision of its hero Ralphie, and finding in young Peter Billingsley a sly combination of innocence and calculation.”
