The Christmas Candle
Believe the Miracle
Deep in the heart of the English countryside lies the enchanting village of Gladbury. Legend has it every 25 years an angel visits the village candlemaker and touches a single candle. Whoever lights this candle receives a miracle on Christmas Eve. But in 1890, at the dawn of the electric age, this centuries old legend may come to an end.

This is a very satisfying Christmas movie. There are too many characters and a few confusing plot lines, but overall, viewers will not be disappointed. Hearing Susan Boyle's incredible voice is an added bonus. The final resolution will put everyone in a good mood and ready to spread some Christmas cheer.

You know what, pretty good! Weird, but holds some charm.
'The Christmas Candle' is rather religious-y, though I think it strikes a fine balance for the majority... until they deep dive into it with the ending admittedly, but as a full-blown atheist I can let it pass as it's a conclusion that stills works in film terms to be fair.
The cast are a nicely chosen bunch. Hans Matheson stands out most in the lead role, while James Cosmo supports ably - as do Lesley Manville, Sylvester McCoy and Samantha Barks. Interesting to see Susan Boyle appear in her acting debut, she's clearly not an actress though her performance is alright - a likeable onscreen presence, at worst.
You've reached the end.
