If the all-too-plausible predictions didn't chill you to the bone, there was more; an eternity soundtracked by Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday". Please God, nooooo! Go to Full Review

For newcomers, "White Christmas" can be a welcome shock, a purgative guaranteed to counteract overdoses of holiday cheer. Go to Full Review
Abraham Riesman New York Magazine/Vulture 04/05/2018
Black Mirror is here to remind you that even empathetic people can ruin lives, and taking the moral high ground in an argument can't fix the world. Oh, and if a Don Draper type tries to charm you? Run. Go to Full Review

Beyond the postmodern tech that’s deployed, however, “White Christmas” is a terrific showcase for Hamm, who delivers his best non–Mad Men role of the 2010s... Go to Full Review

Renaldo D @RT30888824 Apr 18 Different and with a good script. See more William T @RT27622449 07/17/2024 Excelent performance of Jon Hamm! See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor 11/09/2023 Black Mirror: White Christmas is a thrilling and thought-provoking film that explores the darker aspects of technology and human nature. With its expertly crafted storytelling and mesmerizing performances, this film is a standout entry in the Black Mirror series. The film follows two men, Matt and Potter, who are stationed in a remote outpost during Christmas. As they swap stories about their past, we are taken on a journey through their memories and witness the sinister events that led them to their isolated present. One of the film's greatest strengths is its ability to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, constantly guessing what is going to happen next. The intricate plot twists and turns in unexpected ways, leaving the viewer in a constant state of suspense. The use of multiple timelines and perspectives adds an extra layer of complexity to the story, making it all the more intriguing. The performances from the film's two leads, Jon Hamm and Rafe Spall, are outstanding. Hamm delivers a captivating performance as the suave and manipulative Matt, while Spall's portrayal of the vulnerable and tortured Potter is equally compelling. The chemistry between the two actors is palpable and adds an extra dimension to the film. At its core, Black Mirror: White Christmas is a cautionary tale about the dangers of technology and the impact it can have on our lives. The film explores themes of isolation, surveillance, and the blurred lines between reality and artificial intelligence. It is a chilling reminder of the potential consequences of our increasing reliance on technology. Overall, Black Mirror: White Christmas is a must-see film for fans of the Black Mirror series and anyone who enjoys a gripping, thought-provoking thriller. While it may not be suitable for all audiences due to its dark and disturbing themes, it is undoubtedly one of the best entries in the series and deserving of its 4.5 star rating. See more Black B @RT94109295 05/03/2023 Este episodio especial (que es la forma en como lo llamaría) es muy bueno por todo lo que puedes identificar en este y el como puede conectar las tramas de los anteriores episodios pero creo que lo que mas me gusto fue la historia, esta es un pequeño relato de tres mini historias las cuales aunque al principio no tengan alguna relación, tras el paso del episodio nos van contando que es lo que tienen que ver con la trama principal, puede que no sea tan explicito como muchos piensan que se debe de mostrar en un episodio, es mas simple de lo que parece con pequeños guiños nos van diciendo que es lo que le pasa a todos los protagonistas ademas de que si no viste algún episodio de está serie aun podrás disfrutar muchísimo este episodio, otro punto a recalcar es que no es explicito las pequeñas referencias que hay en el episodio y cuando te las encuentres empezarás a atar cabos en tu mente de todo lo que sucede en está serie esta un poco conectado cada cosa. Creo que es un episodio bastante bueno ademas de entretenido, su misterio y aura de suspenso le dan un gran toque de no saber que esta pasando que el espectador lo mantendrá al filo del asiento, solo lo único malo creo que seria lo lenta que se puede sentir el episodio pero se puede soportar porque tiene una gran forma de enganchar a los espectadores en el episodio. See more Valeria M @RT79226038 05/01/2023 Un'opera d'arte senza pari! Complesso, profondo, controverso, non è per tutti, è per chi vuole farsi domande scomode senza pretendere risposte rassicuranti. See more Iker S @IkerSilva 04/03/2023 I absolutely loved this episode (or should I call it short-film?) from the Black Mirror series. It was by far the best I've seen from that saga. The concept is just so gripping, the acting is nice, and everything is masterfully edited and crafted. Every single idea, from the human mind to the cutting-edge technology aspect of it is presented in a way that leaves you amazed, but not baffled. Everything is greatly told, and it just does not feel like a bunch of nonsense put together. It actually has coherence, logic, good visual effects and a deep story that explores the human mind. Super interesting. I would recommend everyone to check this out, doesn't matter if you're a Black Mirror fan or not. See more Read all reviews
