Herbert Vesely was one of the promises for a new German cinema already in the 50's, but after the 60's his star was already dimmed. He made a small number of films in the 70's and 80's, all non too good. This biography of Egon Schiele, one of the most important Austrian artists, is an example of the pretensions and emptiness of a Vesely-film of later date. The life of Schiele is presented here as a puzzle| well, Vesely thinks that Schiele's life was a puzzle: the core of the story is centered around the famous 1912 pornography trial and using this as base the film shows fragments of past and future. The problem is that it never becomes a unity and that the order of scenes and sequences seems to be at random: a cut-and-paste job that could have had any other result. Indeed, after seeing it twice I am almost convinced of it that a unsatisfactory linear thought-out film was changed into the puzzle in the editing room. Egon Schiele was an enigmatic man, but not a total puzzle, and this film does not bring him any closer. The films also fails in conveying the eroticism and meaning of the Schiele's paintings: the camera watches and glides over the models without any understanding of Schiele's intentions, we only see beautiful naked bodies. If interested in Schiele, you better buy a book with his works in stead.。艾比·马歇尔 (布鲁克·多尔赛饰) 曾因在电视上扮演一位励志母亲而受到赞誉，但在处理了一桩丑闻后，她发现自己的现实生活一片混乱。圣诞节期间，她隐居在佛蒙特州的一家豪华度假村，却发现自己因为预订失误而没有房间。由于一场罕见的天文事件，当地所有的酒店都被预订一空——一颗据说与伯利恒之星相映成趣的美丽星星将在圣诞前夜出现。幸运的是，艾比在一家古色古香的 B&B 找到了一个房间，这家旅馆的老板是汤姆·马奎尔 (约翰·布拉瑟顿饰)，他也是一名高中天文学老师。自从妻子去世后，汤姆承担了很多额外的责任，包括经营旅馆和指导当地教堂的圣诞节庆典。艾比同情汤姆，主动提出帮助举办庆典和旅馆周围的各种活动，她发现自己既喜欢这些项目，也喜欢汤姆的陪伴。通过新建立的社区、家庭和爱，艾比发现希望有时会以最意想不到的方式到来。一部 DaySpring 电影。— 《娱乐周刊》。
