This is an interesting week. Everything—even the art titles—open on Wednesday, which is unusual, Thanksgiving or not. The three mainstream openers—Arthur Christmas, Hugo, The Muppets—are all of the family-friendly persuasion, which isn’t surprising at this time of year. What is surprising is that they’ve all been seen by some critics of note, and have all fared very nicely in the process. It will undoubtedly be noted that the bulk of the Arthur Christmas reviews are from the UK—its country or origin—and are therefore suspect. The problem with that bit of “conspiracy” theory is that the Brit reviewers love nothing better than trashing their own though some weird sense of cultural inferiority. Neither of the art titles—Like Crazy at The Carolina and Martha Marcy May Marlene at the Fine Arts—could even slightly be construed as family-friendly, especially the latter.
