Christmas comes early courtesy of British director Debbie Isitt (Nasty Neighbours, Confetti) and her improvised comedy about the preparations for a primary school nativity play. Shot without a script as a safety net, Nativity! is a feel-absolutely-wonderful treat steeped in festive cheer that delivers tidings of comfort and boundless joy for the entire family. The central character's redemption echoes George Bailey in the classic It's A Wonderful Life and a supporting cast of inexperienced child actors is irresistibly cute and cheeky without ever being precocious.
