As a type of origins tale Noelle has plenty of charm—the kind that makes a Christmas story not just simply amiable, but worth a look. Read full review

Noelle is often lifted up and out of a full rut by Anna Kendrick's energetic and gallantly goofy turn as the North Pole's most deserving and capable Kringle. Without her, Noelle is average fare, rehashing a lot of timeworn cliches from other, more clever, festive films. Read full review

Disney Plus’ original Christmas movie Noelle is like a recipe where all the ingredients are delicious, then realizing, once the dish has been cooked, that the flavors cancel each other out. Read full review

Marc Lawrence's story about Santa's daughter, despite its solid cast, aims squarely at not-too-picky kids and mostly ignores parents' desire to be entertained as well. Read full review

Over all, Noelle is subpar — but it’s silly, harmless fun. It’s so forgettable it’ll be virtually erased from your memory five minutes after the end credits roll. Read full review

Noelle is Kendrick’s movie, and it’s a fitting reminder of why she’s such a potent star in projects that require some degree of cheerful borderline sociopathy. She smiles and sings and makes you believe in some truly unfortunate and fake-looking CGI reindeer in a story that keeps mutating and gobbling up other genres. Read full review

What you see a movie like Noelle, what the experience comes down to is: It’s something you’re not watching in a theater because most of us wouldn’t watch it in a theater. It wouldn’t be worth the effort. Whatever your idea of a sentimental connect-the-dots Christmas comedy is, this is sub that. Read full review

Though, I think in reality Anna Kendrick, carried the film, with her own joyous nature, the film was still certainly an enjoyable watch, especially as this film is predominantly aimed at young audiences, who, I feel, will enjoy the film's simplicity and Christmas cheer more so than older watchers. Overall, Noelle, whilst not a groundbreaking Christmas film, is one I would recommend thoroughly to anybody wanting to get into the Christmas spirit.… Expand

The thing about Noelle is that it's too predictable. From the very first scene you could see her expression, whenever she talked about Christmas, and how much interest and dedication she had, unlike her brother.

Because of the dates it will definitely be seen and more for being a novelty but for that same reason it will be discarded quite quickly, and it's that its quality and story don't justify anything more than its momentary entertainment.

Noelle is ALMOST cute, ALMOST fun, ALMOST enjoyable, but it just doesn't work.
It doesn't help that in many places the description of the movie (even Imdb) is most if not all of the movie spoiled.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrible movie. Movie sets up Santa as being some patriarchy lineage thing. Makes the brother a loser so that his sister has to come in and “save the day”… Expand
