This was an interesting documentary, I liked the perspectives. I don't care if Santa is trans or non traditional, just don't make it about you. Your take on Santa should still be rooted in the magic of Santa for the kids, not showcasing your personal life.

The documentary had an agenda vs showing more of a wholistic view of this Santa camp. It was well done and engaging, but the overall self involved nature of the individuals and tilt earned this a 2.

When I head out with my kids to see Santa, I don't care what Santa's personal life is, just looking for a fun picture keepsake and the magic of Santa and Christmas.

Wow, this surprised the hell out of me. One of my favorite modern Christmas movies is a documentary titled, "Becoming Santa," which follows one man who decides to go to Santa training school and be a "mall Santa" for the first time (except he goes to just about everywhere except a mall). This one is sort of like a modern sequel, focusing on the lack of diversity with mall Santas and how the Old School Santas feel about it (some are open and some are not). It's a tear-jerker if you can empathize with what some of these newbies have to put up with. Too many people in our country want to live and die in the past, it's pretty pathetic. In the end, the message is a positive one and I highly recommend it for everyone who loves Christmas and has an open mind (and I also recommend it to those who don't, actually).

A good balance of the unsettling awfulness of bigotry, and the magical excitement of what Santa truly represents. The the smiles of children and adults is a sturdy backdrop that makes small the hate and apprehension shown to these brave Santas, and by one bad santa.

It really is a love triumphs over hate movie, that has a light touch where it needs to and does not skimp on all things festive. I was impressed with how honestly the movie showed how people learn to accept, exercise that acceptance to make it stronger, and how even if things make you feel uncomfortable at first, you realize it is simply because it is something you are not used to.

Trans Santa meeting non binary kids brought tears. These children feeling free and open with their Santa broke a tension in me that I didn't know I needed breaking.

Kid friendly (though it might lose their interest) and very intriguing to adults.

A soulful and hopeful doc. Happy holidays to all and to all a good watch!
