On Christmas Eve 2022, I did a Twitter thread about my love of Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas (1973). It turned out lots of other people loved it too, so for its fiftieth anniversary year, I wrote this www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/culture/6430...

Late to the film of Claire Keegan’s peerless novel, and though I still think Cillian Murphy was miscast - Bill is an everyman, which makes his action exceptional, but Murphy can’t help but seem a visionary - he embodies the struggle with conscience. And I loved the textures. Well worth catching.
