The Gregory family are called upon to gather for Christmas. There is dysfunction as each member arrives and their various resentments surface. This is adapted from a play. I couldn't really connect with any of the characters but their troubles are interesting. A few things are noticeable. There are few children and non of them in the main part of the movie. Mostly, this feels a little Russian. These are sad people. It's very British but there seems to be a dash of Russian.
