Love Actually

Since its release nearly two decades ago, Love Actually has become a Christmas classic. Written and directed by British screenwriter Richard Curtis, the movie tells the interconnected stories of several Brits, all chasing, finding, struggling to maintain, or coping with the loss of love in the lead up to Christmas. Sure, the film has received its fair share of (frankly, well-deserved) criticism in the subsequent years, like the body shaming of the totally regular-sized Natalie, and of course there's that storyline of Colin Firth's character falling in love with a Portuguese woman who doesn't speak English and with whom he's never had conversation because, apparently a silent woman is an ideal one?
