What happens

Happy Christmas is a 2014 American independent dramedy film, written, produced and directed by Joe Swanberg. It stars Swanberg, Anna Kendrick, Melanie Lynskey, Mark Webber, and Lena Dunham. Like most of Swanberg's previous features, the film's dialogue was entirely improvised. Christmas had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival—where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. Dramatic Competition—on January 19, 2014. It was released on June 26, 2014 through VOD, prior to a limited theatrical run in the United States, which began on July 25, 2014. It received generally positive reviews from critics.
