Lacks a sense of structure and purpose, ambling from one tense conversation to the next without effectively making a impact.

Through the playing of the game, the real life characters' true personalities emerge, and we can see that this is a pretty heartless bunch.

The conceit has the potential to be amusing, but the role-playing is never as funny or immersive as it could be, and the characters' repartee often feels more stilted than witty.

One of those who’s-the-murderer parlor games is a plot pillar of Merry Christmas, an experiment in filmmaking by Anna Condo that itself feels like a parlor game, and not a particularly entertaining one.

There doesn’t appear to be any purpose at all to the random exchanges and interactions that pass for a plot.

What's really absent from this fiasco is a sense of purpose or an interest in character, as the participants in this weekend-getaway contest are ciphers defined mainly by their degree of obnoxiousness.
